BAGHDAD, July 30 (KUNA) -- Insurgents attacked on Sunday an oil refinery in
the southern part of the Iraqi Capital Baghdad wounding 10 workers, the MNF
said in a statement Monday.
The insurgent launched four mortar shells at "Doura" oil refinery, the
statement added.
The attack is said to have resulted in wounding 10 workers at least but the
refinery operations were not affected.
The statement quoted Col. Ricky D. Gibbs as saying "such attack to damage
the country infrastructure is a good example of how far Iraq's enemies will go
to ruin the peoples' lives."
There are a lot of armed groups that often target oil refineries in an
attempt to destabilize the economic situation in the country, which cost Iraq
millions of dollars in losses as a result of reduced production.
Iraq depends almost entirely on oil in sustaining its budget and economy.
