An Iraqi official says a bomb has damaged a pipeline exporting crude to Turkey, temporarily cutting deliveries, AP reported. Oil Ministry spokesman Assem Jihad said late Tuesday that an explosion targeting the pipeline forced a halt in deliveries to the Turkish port of Ceyhan late Saturday. Jihad said technical teams are repairing the pipeline and hope to resume pumping within days. A similar bombing on the same pipeline caused a nine-day cut in exports last month. Oil sales account for about 95 percent of Iraq"s total revenue.
