Remember the Iraq Oil pipeline explosion on election night??

Iraqi Oil Exports

KIRKUK (AFP) -- A major attack on the main pipeline connecting the oil fields of Kirkuk with the Turkish port of Ceyhan yesterday has halted limited exports from northern Iraq, a Northern Oil Company official said.

"An improvised explosive device was placed close to a network of pipelines at the level of Al Fateha, west of Kirkuk, causing a big explosion and huge fires that damaged the main pipeline running to Ceyhan and stopped exports," said Mr Nasir Qassim, a logistics and security official with the state-owned company.

The road connecting Kirkuk with the refineries in Beiji to the west was cut off as emergency workers battled to extinguish the raging flames, with Iraqi police and national guard units, and multinational troops securing the area.

And now they are too busy talking about Scott Peterson and creationism to be concerned with details like that...
