Kirkuk Dora oil pipeline bombed

Iraq oil pipeline used to transport oil from Kirkuk oil fields to Dora refinery in Baghdad was blasted on Monday night with an explosive said Iraq Oil Minister Hussain al-Shahristani. The Minister added that the pipeline had been idle for years, but was recently reactivated, for the first time since the fall of the former regime as it was the target of many sabotage activities. The resumption of oil pumping thru this pipeline increased output at the Dora refinery from less than 70000 barrels per day (bpd) to more than 100000 bpd. Shahristani said that the Ministry cadres started to repair the pipeline and hoped that works will end in the upcoming couple of days.
