BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Saboteurs have set an oil pipeline in northern Iraq on fire as a new U.S.-led force was deployed to protect the area's infrastructure, witnesses said Monday.

Residents of Burjwari, a village near the Baiji refinery, said a bomb was placed overnight along a northern pipeline section carrying oil. Reuters television footage showed the pipeline on fire.

"We were preparing to break the (Ramadan) fast when we heard an explosion. This was the work of the resistance. We think the pipeline carried liquefied petroleum gas, but we are not sure," Qassem Mohammad said.
