Iraq's oil resumes flow to Turkey at normal rate BAGHDAD, March 4 (Reuters) - Iraq has resumed pumping crude oil from northern Iraq to Turkey at the same rate as before the export pipeline was put out of action on Sunday by U.S. air strikes, a senior Iraqi official said on Thursday. ''Oil exports were resumed early on March 4 through the Iraq- Turkish pipeline with its normal capacity,'' a spokesman for the Oil Ministry told Reuters. Before the raids the pipeline had been exporting about a million barrels a day of crude or half Iraq's sales under a humanitarian exchange permitted by the United Nations in exchange for food and medicine. The spokesman said oil resumed flowing via the pipeline after repairing a repeater station 35 km (20 miles) from the city of Mosul and a telecommunications centre in Ain Zala, 50 km (30 miles) northwest of the city. Both sites were bombed by U.S. warplanes. ''After relying on God, our brave fighters in the oil sector...were able to repair the damage inflicted by the failing crows of America,'' the spokesman said. Earlier a U.N. spokesman in New York said the flow of oil was resumed at 0058 Iraqi time on Thursday (4:58 p.m. EST, 2158 GMT) on Wednesday. An Oil Ministry official said on Wednesday that Baghdad was set to resume exports through the pipeline from its northern Kirkuk oilfields to the Turkish Mediterranean coast by 2100 GMT. The United Nations received word of the resumption of the oil flow from experts of the Dutch monitoring company Saybolt, under contract to help monitor Iraqi oil exports under the U.N.
