HOUSTON – At least 32 Shell Oil Co. workers were injured early Tuesday when a train collided with a bus carrying contract employees at the company's Deer Park refinery. The workers were taken to area hospitals for observation or treatment of injuries ranging from bumps and bruises to a possible hip dislocation, officials said. They said the bus was carrying contract workers to work sites from satellite parking areas and was crossing tracks inside the plant when it was hit by a Port Terminal Rail Authority train.

TULSA, Okla. – The Bush administration's delay in issuing a "major disaster declaration" after this month's devastating ice storm has angered some officials in eastern Oklahoma, where local governments have been financially crippled from cleanup costs. Gov. Brad Henry requested the declaration more than a week ago, but still hadn't heard a response on Tuesday. A major disaster declaration would authorize federal reimbursement to cities, towns and counties for cleanup expenses related to the storm. It also would allow reimbursement to individuals and businesses for uninsured losses, like roof damage, burst pipes and damaged water wells.

HOUSTON – A member of a notoriously violent gang who is suspected in the decapitation of his former in-laws in Honduras last month has been arrested in Texas on burglary and immigration charges, police said Tuesday. Albin Adalin Zelaya-Zelaya, 26, was arrested Saturday along with five other Hondurans on illegal-immigration charges. Authorities said they believe the men have been involved in kidnapping of other illegal immigrants. Honduran authorities have also called Mr. Zelaya-Zelaya a person of interest in a 2004 bus shooting there that left 37 people dead. The Mara Salvatrucha gang, or MS-13, is believed to have a large cell in Texas.
