| Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) Iraqi security forces have cleared a section an oil pipeline stretching to ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... from booby-traps left behind by Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... bad boys, the Iraqi Ministry of Interior said on Thursday. Interior Ministry spokesperson Saad Maan said "bomb squads from the energy security directorate have finished the dismantling and clearing of the Iraq-Turkey pipeline which stretches from Kirkuk province, passing by al-Riyad, Baiji and djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... to Turkey". That pipeline had been under Islamic State control during the bad boys’ presence, according to Maan. "After works that lasted for more than one month, the energy security directorate has manage to clear that line from Kirkuk to Baiji...and to lift and dismantle the bombs along the line," Maan said. He said that more than 900 devices have either been defused or detonated. Islamic State hard boyz have reportedly both set fire to oil wells and illegally traded in Iraqi oil during their occupation of several Iraqi areas since 2014 before the government declared the group’s defeat earlier this month. Last Monday, the oil ministry said it plans to use drones to monitor and protect its oil export and production pipelines starting early 2018. It unveiled, a week earlier, plans to install a network of pipelines to pump crude oil and refined products across all its territory, as a replacement to more costly and insecure tanker trucks. |
