Investigators on the scene of Sunday's train derailment in Tampa say it was sabotage, but do not believe it was terrorist related.

A spokeswoman for the FBI said that they are conducting a criminal investigation, but no further details were immediately available.

No one was hurt when the CSX engine and three cars derailed Sunday evening.

About 200 gallons of diesel fuel spilled from the engine and a major Tampa road was closed all day Monday as workers cleaned up the mess.
