Blast damages oil pipeline northwest of Baghdad 25 minutes ago Add Mideast - AFP to My Yahoo! BARWANAH, Iraq (AFP) - An explosion damaged an oil pipeline 250 kilometres (155 miles) northwest of Baghdad which supplied a refinery and a power plant in the capital, an official from Iraq (news - web sites)'s Northern Oil Co. told AFP. "The explosion was at 01:30 on Tuesday morning (2130 GMT Monday) just 50 metres (yards) from the village," said Rassim Abdiul Khader Shaker. The 30-inch pipeline near Barwaneh links the northern city of Kirkuk with the Hadithah pumping station to the west. US-led coalition efforts to get the country back up and running have already been hit by suspected sabotage blasts on three other fuel pipelines in the last two weeks. Although the US authorities have yet to account for the explosions -- one of which on the main oil export pipeline from Kirkuk in the north to Turkey has delayed oil shipments -- Iraqi officials have said they were deliberate attacks. A blast Saturday night to a gas pipeline near Hit, west of Baghdad, was said to have contributed to a day-old power blackout in Baghdad.
