Posted on 03/06/2003 7:29:13 AM PST by Heartlander2

TEHRAN, March 6, 2003. /from RIA Novosti correspondent Nikolai Terekhov/. - Iraq has dropped bombs hitting 2,500 oil fields that cover a vast area.

According to the IRNA agency, the bombing near Sharjeh resulted in the explosion of an oil refinery near Kirkuk.

Some oil-bearing wells were mined with antitank mines.

The Iraqi Army units are ditching around near Baghdad and Kirkuk round the clock to resist the US Army.

Trying to draw in the Iranians into the area to be under invasion? Pretty interesting tactic.

". . . dropped bombs. . . "

Dropped from what? Like Allied aircraft are going to let some idiot Iraq pilot fly anything other than a paper kite.

Now: ". . . 2,500 oil fields. . . " Let's do the math here and all calm down a bit.

Could be a rumor, to stir the pot considering it is coming from Russia.

"dropped" = "placed" and the refinery explosion was previously reported

"Something has happened that we don't know about yet."

Speculating...wonder if they've got OBL, and he's spilled the beans about his connections with Hussein?

the Iraqi bombers. Think about it - Kirkuk is about 150 miles south of the Northern No-Fly zone - that's about a ten minute flight or so for a fighter patrolling up there, and I sincerely doubt the United States is going to let ANY Iraqi combat aircraft anywhere near the oilfields.
