Reports say it was due to a water-main explosion and two oil pipeline blazes which raised new concerns that saboteurs are hitting infrastructure to slow Iraq's recovery. A group of resistance fighters, the Iraqi National Islamic Resistance Movement, has said they would battle the U.S.-led occupation whether or not it brings progress in rebuilding the country. The explosion in northern Baghdad blew a hole in a 1.5-metre-diameter water main early yesterday, flooding streets and forcing engineers to cut off water to all of Baghdad. Witnesses said they saw two men on a motorbike leaving a bag of explosives and detonating it minutes later. Further north, two blazes raged out of control along the 965-km pipeline that exports Iraq's oil to Turkey.
