| NEAR THE KUWAIT-IRAQ BORDER (AP) - Orange flames could be seen Thursday on the northern horizon in the direction of the southern Iraqi oil center Basra, witnesses said. The witnesses, located in Kuwait about eight miles south of the border, said the flames were spotted after a series of explosions that shook buildings in the area. It was not known if the flames resulted from the explosions. The Arab satellite television channel Al-Arabiya reported that fires had erupted in Iraq's al-Rumeila field in the Basra area. Rummy just said there appears to be 3 or 4 wells on fire. |
