BAGHDAD, Iraq - A bomb exploded Thursday near a pipeline in northern Iraq, killing two Iraqi Civil Defense Corps members and wounding 10 others, U.S. officials said. They did not know if the pipeline was damaged. snip

The explosion in the north occurred south of Qayarrah, about 150 miles north of Baghdad, U.S. officials said. The Iraqi guards were helping secure pipelines that have been the target of sabotage frequently.

Sabotage to pipelines and the decayed state of Iraqi's infrastructure have slowed efforts to revive the country's giant oil industry, considered the key to rebuilding the economy.

1. "they did not know if the pipeline was damaged", guess it was

just the old "decayed state of Iraqi's infrastructure" that stopped the oil flow...no bomb here folks, move on...give more money to halliburton to IMPORT oil....

2. Yeah, it's Saddam's neglect.

And Clinton's penis that caused it. Couldn't possibly be that people hate Americans and don't want them to succeed in their imperialistic venture.
