Attacks on oil facilities cost Iraq dearly

“Iraq has lost more than $US200 million over the past seven months due to 130 attacks on its oil pipelines, Prime Minister Iyad Allawi says.

He blames terrorists and foreign fighters for targeting the vital industry.

“More than $200 million has been stolen out of the pockets of a sovereign Iraqi government through the loss of oil revenues resulting from attacks to pipelines,” Mr Allawi said.
