Has Kurdish OIL Law opposition caused retaliatory attacks in Irbil?

[harlinchi]

Can the Kurdish reservations regarding the proposed Iraqi oil law have caused or contributed to the explosion which occurred
In Irbil (Erbil)? Can the refusal of some to ‘sell out’ their brothers actually have triggered ‘persuasive retaliatory attacks’? And just who prods al-Qaeda in Iraq into action anyway, for whose benefit or to whose detriment?

My answers: Yes! Yes! And, circumstances point to those who would sell out their brothers and to those doing the buying, to the 30-year long, projected sorrow and destitution of the Iraqi people.


The NYT article shows how the seed was planted and the plant was watered and nurtured:

Iraqi Blocs Opposed to Draft Oil Bill
Correction Appended
ERBIL, Iraq, May 2 — Kurdish and Sunni Arab officials expressed deep reservations on Wednesday about the draft version of a national oil law and related legislation, misgivings that could derail one of the benchmark measures of progress in Iraq laid down by President Bush.
In Iraq, the Kurds have taken issue with a new provision that was quietly packaged with the draft oil law by the Shiite-led Oil Ministry last month. The measure would essentially cede control of the management of nearly all known oil fields and related contracts to a state-run oil company to be established after passage of the law, said a spokesman for the Kurdish regional government.

Mahmoud Othman, a Kurdish politician, blamed the attack on Ansar al-Sunnah, a Sunni Arab insurgent group, and Ansar al-Islam, a mostly Kurdish group with ties to al-Qaeda in Iraq.

1. It's odd that few articles spell out the terms of the OIL law.

They refer to the fact that all sections (Sunni, Shia and Kurd) must become subservient to the national government and that no individual section (read:Kurd) may contract with oil professionals on their own.
There is no mention of the 75% of oil revenues to be ceded to foreign national companies.
