Iraq accuses Iran of stealing oil
Updated on 05 February 2008
The Iraqi Oil Ministry has accused Iran of stealing oil from a shared field under their common border.
Iraq also accuses Tehran of illegally seizing and capping off wells in a second field that Iraq claims lies entirely within its territory.
The two adjacent oil fields, Abu Gharb - which Iraq claims in its entirety - and al-Fakkah, the shared field, are among Iraq's richest. Both lie in Maysan province, about 200 miles southeast of Baghdad.
