Basra Oil Facility Stormed By Protesters, 2 Hostages Taken In Growing Chaos
https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-09-07/protesters-storm-and-torch-iranian-consulate-iraqs-basra-amidst-worsening-sectarian
update 2: The situation in the southern Iraq city of Basra is continuing to escalate after rioters burned down the city's sprawling Iranian consulate, and amidst unconfirmed rumors that the local American consulate may be under threat, though said to be under heavy guard by Iraqi national forces. During the night hours Friday protesters have reportedly stormed an oil facility and are holding two staff workers hostage. The incident is unfolding at the West Qurna 2 oilfield, which is run by the Russian multinational energy company Lukoil. According to a breaking Reuters report: Protesters entered a water treatment facility linked to the West Qurna 2 oilfield, managed by Lukoil, and held two Iraqi employees hostage on Friday, according to a Lukoil source and a source with Basra’s energy police. The precise identities of the hostages or the particular group holding them is still unknown at this point. Lukoil is a Moscow-based corporation.
