An oil pipeline in northern Iraq was ablaze Saturday after saboteurs blew it up. In the capital, a roadside bomb killed two people, officials and witnesses said.
The pipeline connecting oil fields in Dibis with the northern city of Kirkuk about 32 kms away was blown up late Friday, an official of the state-run North Oil Co. told The AP. He said it would take at least four days to repair the line.
In Baghdad, a roadside bomb detonated in the west of the city, killing two civilians.
A separate car bomb exploded near a convoy of Iraqi National Guard troops in Iskandariyah, south of Baghdad, witnesses said. No casualties were reported.
Also Saturday, a female Iraqi television presenter kidnapped in the northern city of Mosul was found dead. Several masked gunmen nabbed Raiedah Mohammed Wageh Wazan last week. Her corpse was found Friday, said her husband, Salim Saad-Allah. She had been shot in the head.
The U.S. command on Saturday announced the death a day earlier of a U.S. soldier west of the capital in Anbar province.
