Oil pipeline targeted in Iraq attacks

Saboteurs have blown up Iraq's northern export pipeline halting oil flows to Turkey. The attack was the second on the pipeline in the past fortnight.

A bomb that exploded overnight blew off a section of the twin pipeline near the oil centre of Baiji, according to reports.

Sabotage against the northern pipeline network has been intense since the US-led offensive against Fallujah last month.
