Turkish Oil Pipeline Repaired After Fire
Turkey's state-run news agency says an oil pipeline has been repaired after a three-day fire and has resumed carrying oil from Iraq to the Mediterranean
Turkey's state-run news agency says an oil pipeline has been repaired after a three-day fire and has resumed carrying oil from Iraq to the Mediterranean.
The Anatolia agency quotes pipeline authorities as saying workers have finished the repairs after putting out the fire triggered by an explosion Friday near the town of Midyat, 80 kilometers (50 miles) from the Iraqi border.
The agency says authorities blame Kurdish rebels for the explosion.
It says oil was being pumped Monday through the pipeline connecting oil fields around the northern Iraqi city of Kirkuk with the Turkish port of Ceyhan.
