And Iraq oil ministry spokesman has said that a worker has been killed and a second worker suffered severe burns after a fire broke out at the Doura refinery in Baghdad.
Reuters reported that the blaze broke out in the grounds of the refinery after workers siphoned fuel from a gasoline tanker truck.
The spokesman, Asim Jihad, said that the truck had been seized from a group selling illegalm fuel, but added that the fire had not affected refinery output.
"This has nothing to do with the refinery," Reuters quoted him as saying.
The 160,000 barrels per day (bpd) refinery is planning to increase output to 230,000 bpd by the end of 2009.
