Another attack on Iraqi oil pipeline

In the constant stream of pipeline attacks...

Iraqi oil officials yesterday said that insurgents blew up a cluster of pipelines in southern Iraq, though they said they did not expect oil exports to be significantly reduced.

The pipelines carried crude oil from the Rumaila oil field, one of the two largest in Iraq, which is estimated to have 115 billion barrels of oil reserves. Television footage showed flames and smoke billowing into the air around Basra in southern Iraq.
