Iraq oil pipeline sabotaged

A pipeline carrying crude oil to a refinery in Baghdad has been sabotaged only days after going back online following years of being the target of attack, the oil minister said on Wednesday.
"Yesterday (Tuesday) evening, criminals sabotaged the pipeline with a bomb at Rashidiya, north of the capital," Hussein al-Shahristani said.
The attack "interrupted transport, causing a reduction in refining at the Dora station from 100,000 barrels a day to 70,000 barrels," he added.
"Ministry teams are working to repair it, and we hope it will be able to function again in a few days."
