Saboteurs blamed for oil fire (Basra)

Saboteurs blamed for oil fire
From correspondents in Basra
May 10, 2004

AN oil pipeline supplying one of Iraq's southern exporting terminals was on fire today after a suspected sabotage attack, firemen said.

Columns of flame and smoke were seen coming from the pipeline in an area 40km south of the southern city of Basra.

Oil pipelines have been a popular target of insurgents seeking to disrupt an industry the United States expects to provide part of the funds required to rebuild the nation's shattered infrastructure.

1. I guess we can expect oil prices to go even higher this week.

On Friday they touched $40 per bbl, closed at $39.93.
