Blast rips through oil pipeline in northern Iraq: official
TIKRIT, Iraq (AFP) -
An explosion has torn apart an oil pipeline near Kirkuk, 260
kilometers (160 miles) north of Baghdad, a company official told AFP.
The blast ripped through the pipeline in the region of Mashruh
al-Therthar, southwest of the city of Samarra, said pipeline director
Majid Manun.
"The pipeline feeds the Dora refineries in Baghdad," he said.
"I heard a powerful explosion in the evening, and I saw huge flames
coming out of the oil pipeline," said witness Hassan Messarhad, a
45-year-old farmer.
On Saturday, another "sabotage" explosion ripped through a gas
pipeline near Baiji, 225 kilometers north of Baghdad.
Oil and gas pipelines in the region, a stronghold of Saddam Hussein,
have been targeted in acts of sabotage since the former president was
ousted by a US-led coalition on April 9.
