NICOSIA (Reuter) - An Iraqi opposition group has reported that a bomb at an oil refinery in Iraq killed seven people and unleashed a fire that raged for 48 hours.
The Iraqi Broadcasting Corporation, the information wing of umbrella group the Iraqi National Congress, said in a statement received Friday a bomb went off at the refinery in the northern town of Baiji on August 24.
The bomb, planted in the pick-up truck of an engineer, set off a fire at the gas production unit of the refinery which blazed for 48 hours.
The statement said seven people were killed, including one of the refinery's engineers, Rafiq Hizbi Maarouf. Six vehicles were destroyed, including two Jordanian gas tankers.
There was no independent confirmation.
The statement said the report came from a correspondent in the town, 120 miles north of Baghdad and near President Saddam Hussein's home town of Tikrit.
The statement said all work at the refinery had stopped since the blast and Iraqi intelligence were interrogating the head of the refinery and management.
