Huge fire at Iraq refinery put out after mortar attack

"BAGHDAD (AFX) - A huge fire broke out at the Dura oil refinery outside Baghdad on Friday after it was hit by a mortar shell, security sources said.

The interior ministry said later the fire had been put out and no-one was hurt.

'There are no victims,' a ministry official said after having contacted hospitals in the city.

The Dura refinery supplies Baghdad with most of its petrol needs, while insurgents have repeatedly targeted Iraq's vital oil infrastructure in the hope of preventing the country's economic recovery."
