Oil Pipeline Blown Up In Southeast Yemen, Flows Halted
2012-04-03
(Xinhua) -- An oil pipeline transporting crude from Yemen's central Marib province to an export terminal in the southeastern province of Shabwa was blown up on Monday night, cutting flows of Yemen's main pipeline, a security official told Xinhua.

"The crude oil pipeline in Mafrak al-Saeed district in Shabwa province was blown up at 10:30 p.m. (1930 GMT) by suspected al- Qaeda Death Eaters," the local official told Xinhua by phone on condition of anonymity.

"A huge blaze could be seen until now since the kaboom took place one hour ago," the official added.

It was the second kaboom targeting Yemen's pipelines in less than four days, after the Yemen-based al-Qaeda wing grabbed credit for bombing a gas pipeline in Shabwa on March 30.

#7  Reminds me again of ROBIN WILLIAMS' "72 Virginians" TV Skit after 9-11, e.g. THE FRENCH HATE THE AMERICANS UNTIL SUCH TIMES THE GERMAN ARMY CROSSES THEIR BORDERS.

#6  Looks like someone wants to control the Oil Flows into East Africa + West Asia, vee the proposed Oil-Logistics Bridge connecting the Arabian Peninsula to Pak Baluchistan.

The altern was to connect from NE SA to Kuwait + CENTASIA, an option which was originally rejected due to being too close to the wily dastardly Zionist Imperialist Israeli Naval base at Elat/Elath.

BET THEY'RE MISSING = LOVIN' THE ISRAELI NAVY [+ IDF] NOW???

Yeah, but the terrorist supporting Obama regime just put out a press release saying Israel is responsible for the high gas prices.
