“A bomb placed under the Kirkuk-Ceyhan line in Iraq’s Ninewa province exploded early Sunday halting flows, a senior Iraqi oil official told Platts. ‘The exports were completely stopped from Kirkuk,’ said the senior official with the state-run North Oil Company, who asked not be identified. The official said the explosion took place in Ain al-Jahsh, south of the city of Mosul, in the middle of an area increasingly rife with al-Qaeda and other militants. The pipeline had been operational for just two weeks since the last attack, on June 21, which kept the route offline until July 17.”
