Anti-U.S. Guerrillas Keep Up Pressure in Iraq

Advertisements [?]

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Guerrillas kept up attacks on U.S. forces in Iraq (news - web sites) Wednesday, as an Oil Ministry source acknowledged that this week's pipeline explosion was the most destructive carried out by saboteurs to date.

Violence and sabotage hampering postwar reconstruction efforts provide a sobering backdrop to an international donors' conference on Iraq that starts in Madrid Thursday.

A roadside bomb wrecked a U.S. military vehicle in the flashpoint town of Falluja, west of Baghdad, but the military could not immediately say if there had been American casualties.

The Oil Ministry source said Tuesday's sabotage blast that hit a cluster of four pipelines, just south of Baiji, Iraq's biggest oil refinery, was the most worrying attack so far.
