Iraqi oil train bombing sparks massive blaze
Insurgents blew up an Iraqi train carrying petroleum products yesterday, setting off a huge blaze, as foreign governments angrily condemned the murder of two Algerian diplomats kidnapped last week in Baghdad.
Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari accused rebels of seeking to undermine diplomatic ties between the Arab world and Iraq, and signalled that US-led coalition forces would be called on to protect foreign diplomats in the capital.

The morning attack against the oil train was the first such in the country, railway spokesman Jawad Al-Kharsan said. The attack ignited a massive blaze extending down the railway line in southern Baghdad.
