Iraq Oil Well Blown Up

Here’s an interesting new twist in the ongoing Successful Liberation of Iraq.

…..the director general of the Northern Iraqi Oil Co said an explosion set an oil well ablaze in northern Iraq.

“The explosion occurred at 3:30 pm (1230 GMT) because of an explosive charge planted by unknown individuals inside the well, located 75 kilometres west of Kirkuk,” said Adel Qazzaz.

“It inflicted massive damage in the well, and firefighters are having a hard time extinguishing it because the explosion occurred inside the well and not in the pipelines,” he said.

So, the guerillas are actually planting explosives inside oil wells. It is difficult to see how this wouldn’t be an inside sabotage job, which indicates that guerillas have infiltrated whatever security exists at the oil fields around Kirkuk.
