Saboteurs blow up key Iraqi pipeline
Saboteurs blew up a key northern oil pipeline Wednesday, forcing a 10 percent cut on the national power grid as demand for electricity rises with the advent of Iraq’s broiling summer heat.
More than a year after the occupation began, power cuts are common nationwide, in some places topping 16 hours a day.
Baghdad will be 103-108 during the next ten days, according to Weather.com.
