Iraq probes oil smuggling
Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi on Wednesday ordered the formation of a committee to investigate suspected smuggling of oil and its derivatives from the Jurf al-Sakhar area, including the tapping of pipelines, oil storage and its smuggling into Baghdad. An informed source said intelligence documents and satellite images point to smuggling operations that have continued for years and caused major losses to public funds. Reports have accused Kataib Hezbollah of being involved. The investigation comes amid tensions between the government and armed factions, and as part of a broader campaign to combat corruption and oil smuggling.
