More saber rattling from Sadaam: sg.dailynews.yahoo.com <<Thursday, September 14 6:32 PM SGT Iraq accuses Kuwait of stealing oil BAGHDAD, Sept 14 (AFP) - Iraqi Oil Minister Amer Rashid on Thursday accused Kuwait of stealing oil from two fields close to the border between the two countries, a charge that sparked Baghdad's invasion of the emirate in 1990. "Kuwait has over these past years carried out sabotage of Iraq's oil fields," Rashid told the official INA news agency. "Kuwait has undertaken horizontal drilling operations in the border zone to draw from Iraqi oil deposits," Rashid said. "Iraq is following this affair and will take adequate measures that guarantee its rights of sovereignty over its oil riches," the minister added. Fayez Shahin, undersecretary at the oil ministry, also told Al-Zaoura newspaper Thursday that Kuwait had been stealing oil from two fields bordering the emirate. "Iraq is following closely the activities undertaken by the Al-Sabah (Kuwaiti ruling family) regime in stealing oil in the Rumeila and Zubeir fields in southern Iraq," Shahin said. "The oil minister will put in place a meticulous and dissuasive plan to limit the movement of Iraqi oil to Kuwait and lessen the prejudice against Iraq because of the hostile behaviour of Kuwait," Shahin added. He said that Baghdad had "the means of putting an end to the violations of the Kuwaiti regime and its theft of Iraqi oil." Shahin did not give details of the plan nor the quantities of crude oil that Kuwait stands accused of stealing. Iraq invaded Kuwait on August 2, 1990 after having accused the emirate of stealing petrol from the Rumeila field and nibbling away at its territory. A US-led international coalition chased Iraqi forces out of Kuwait seven months later.>>
