Fires were extinguished Tuesday at Venezuela's biggest oil refinery after raging for more than three days following a deadly explosion. The flames were put out in the three fuel tanks that had been ablaze at the Amuay refinery. Oil Minister Rafael Ramirez said officials expect to restart operations at the refinery in two days. He said the disaster hadn't affected the refinery complex's capacity to process up to 1.2 million barrels a day, although those operations have stopped while the fires raged. The explosion early Saturday killed at least 41 people and injured more than 150.
