Meanwhile, Saddam or no Saddam ...

Rebels fired rocket-propelled grenades at storage tanks in southern Baghdad on Saturday, sparking fires that burned for hours and consumed about 2.6 million gallons of gasoline, Oil Ministry spokesman Issam Jihad said. Iraqi police were investigating, he said.

Also Saturday, a pipeline exploded in the al-Mashahda area, 15 miles north of Baghdad, in what Jihad said also was an act of sabotage - the latest in a series of attacks on Iraq's oil infrastructure, apparently aimed at undermining the coalition.
