Thamir Ghadhban said blasts on Monday and Tuesday had damaged a pipeline from the southern oilfields – severing the flow to the Basra oil terminal.
It was the second attack on the Basra terminal – one of the few operational outlets – in just over a month.
It comes two weeks before the US-led coalition is due to hand over power to an interim Iraqi government.
Sounds like the insurgents will be welcoming the new administration with a bang.
This would not be happening if we had been in afghanistan in the first place looking for bin laden. This is a war about oil just think about it people.
