Iraq Says Saudi Oil Pipe Attack Started in Iraq

Iraq confirmed that unmanned flying aircraft that hit Saudi Arabia's oil-carrying pipe, the East-West pipeline, took off from inside Iraq. The hit happened Thursday; Saudi Arabia briefly closed the pipe the next day to be safe. No group said it did the attack by September 12. Baghdad agreed to Iran's request to jointly examine takeoff equipment found near the border.
