Musta been some sort of Hocus pocus Fire erupts at Iraqi oil pipeline 1 hour, 55 minutes ago Add Mideast - AFP to My Yahoo! BAGHDAD (AFP) - A fire has erupted at an oil pipeline 200 kilometers (125 miles) north of Baghdad, with the commander of US ground forces saying it was not known whether it resulted from sabotage. Lieutenant General Ricardo Sanchez told a news conference the blaze broke out nine kilometers (six miles) north of the oil hub of Baiji, but he could not give any other details. "There was a pipeline fire," he said Thursday. "We have not established if it was sabotage or not." The pipeline linking the oil center of Kirkuk further to the north with the Baiji refinery carries most of the oil that is exported to the Turkish port of Ceyhan. It was last sabotaged on August 30 and officials said repairs would take "a few weeks." Two other acts of sabotage targeted the Baiji-Ceyhan stretch in mid-August.
