Insurgents Set Iraqi Oil Pipeline Ablaze

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - Insurgents using explosives set fire to the main oil pipeline in northern Iraq on Thursday, officials said. Violence continued around the country, and the U.S. military said three soldiers were killed by a roadside bomb the previous day.

The pipeline links an oil field in the northern city of Kirkuk to Iraq's largest oil refinery in Beiji, 155 miles north of Baghdad.

The explosion occurred at about 5 a.m. (8 p.m. EDT Wednesday), setting fire to the pipeline and several oil valves about 34 miles west of Kirkuk, said firefighter Adil Mohammed.

``The damage is 100 percent, and we've haven't been able to control the fire yet,' he said.

Iraq has the world's third-largest known oil reserves, but the industry has been crippled by several wars, sanctions during Saddam's rule and the anti-U.S. insurgency. Oil production remains limited, curbed by decaying infrastructure and frequent militant attacks on pipelines and refineries.
