Family member of victims react after the verdict of the AZF disaster trial in Toulouse, southwestern France, November 19, 2009. A French court on Thursday dismissed an attempt to hold oil major Total and its former boss responsible for a 2001 blast at a chemical factory that killed 31 people and injured thousands more. The court in the southern French city of Toulouse, where the disaster took place, also cleared Total's subsidiary Grande Paroisse, the owner of the AZF chemical fertiliser factory where the explosion occurred and the plant's director.
