.Militants blow up Baghdad's drinking water pipeline
Militants have blown up a section of a Baghdad water pipeline, shutting off drinking water to hundreds of thousands of people, the US military said.
The explosion on Thursday (local time) tore an 45 centimetre hole in a pipeline carrying drinking water to Baghdad's Adhamiyah, Rusafa and Karrada districts, a US military said, adding that it expected the pipeline would be fixed by the end of Friday.
Infrastructure such as power lines, oil refineries and water pipes are a common target for militants in Iraq, although such attacks have fallen sharply as violence has dropped to four year lows.

These are the wolves Obama would throw the Iraqis too.
