BAGHDAD, Nov 17 (KUNA) -- A huge fire erupted at oil reservoirs in southern
Baghdad on Friday.
In a press statement, Iraqi security sources said the fire was caused by an
exploding generator at the reservoirs' site in Al-Lateefiyah.
Smoke was seen around Baghdad while US army helicopters circled the area.
Head of civil defense Major-General Abdulrasoul Al-Zaidi said the fire
brigade was handling the incident.
While noting that a number of workers at the reservoirs were injured, the
sources brushed off the idea that the fire was a result of sabotage.
They added that despite dispatching many firemen to the location, the fire
has not been contained yet.(end)
