| 2 Caught Placing Bomb Near Iraq Refinery |
| 2004-02-02 |
| Iraqi police caught two men placing a roadside bomb Monday near the capital’s main Doura oil refinery, a U.S. commander said. Excellent! The two men were believed to be an Iranian and an Afghan, but ``we have to first develop that through interrogation and try and determine what that means,’’ Brig. Gen. Martin Dempsey, commander of the 1st Armored Division, told a news conference. He did not elaborate. It means they bagged a couple of visting terrorists who are going to have the undivided attention of the intel types. With a refining capacity of 110,000 barrels of oil a day, Doura produces much of the gasoline, heating oil and cooking gas supplies for Baghdad. It also distributes crude oil used as fuel by two of the capital’s four electric plants. Which makes it a prime target. Dempsey, whose division is in charge of Baghdad, did not say how destructive the bomb could have been or how close it was to the main facility of the refinery. Because he’s not stupid. |
