Bomb cuts Iraqi oil pipeline deliveries to Turkey

25 November 2009 / AP, BAGHDAD
An Iraqi official says a bomb has damaged a pipeline exporting crude to Turkey, temporarily cutting deliveries.

Oil Ministry spokesman Assem Jihad said late Tuesday that an explosion targeting the pipeline forced a halt in deliveries to the Turkish port of Ceyhan late Saturday.

Jihad said technical teams are repairing the pipeline and hope to resume pumping within days.

A similar bombing on the same pipeline caused a nine-day cut in exports last month.

Oil sales account for about 95 percent of Iraq's total revenue.
