Oil pipeline attacked south of Baghdad

[Barrett808]

BAGHDAD (Iraq): A bomb exploded Saturday beneath an oil pipeline that supplies Baghdad's Dora oil refinery with crude from stores south of the capital, police said.

The blast took place in the town of Mahmoudiya, about 30 kilometers south of Baghdad, a police official said. He said the pipeline originated from oil storage site in Latifiya, a few kilometers to the south.

Iraqi troops and police forces blocked the site of the blast, where a fire raged nearly an hour after the explosion, witnesses said.
