A MORTAR or rocket strike set fire to Baghdad's Dura oil refinery today, an Iraqi interior ministry official and US military said.

After an initial blaze, the fire was contained, a US military spokesperson said.

Two civilians were treated for smoke inhalation in what the US military called a probable rocket attack.

Earlier, an interior ministry official said Baghdad firemen were struggling to douse the fire.

The Dura refinery is also home to Baghdad's main power plant. The refinery provides fuel for the plant, which provides electricity for most of Baghdad and outlying areas.


It was not immediately clear if the fire had affected the power plant. In Baghdad and much of Iraq, electricity is erratic, with households enjoying power sometimes for as little as three hours per day.

can you see americans living with 3 hrs. of electricity a day?

oh the fun of having a baby and/or caring for kids on 3 hrs. of electricity a day.

that's better then no electricity a day like in the tsunami.

but one is america made and the other made by nature (unless it is determined that US sound bombing the ocean floor made a difference)

1. If we had used some of that money

for the infrastructure, instead of paying contrators to do "interrogations" we might be home by now.
