Sabotage halts oil exports from southern Iraq
Baghdad: Saboteurs attacked two key southern oil pipelines for a second day today, cutting off all crude oil exports from the Gulf.

Saboteurs also blasted a northern oil pipeline about midnight yesterday in the oil fields near the town of Dibis, some 45 kilometers west of Kirkuk.
