Editor's note: Update 2 - sources confirmed on June 11 that oil from Bai Hassan wells 20 and 67 resumed operation. Staff built basins in the ground to collect crude which is then taken up by tanker truck to oil depots. The bombs damaged a specific Christmas Tree, infrastructure that will take more time to fully repair. Six civilian guards have been arrested but not formally charged.
KIRKUK - Seven bombs were discovered Saturday at the Bai Hassan oil field in Kirkuk province, including two that exploded beneath pipelines at a degassing station, though there was no interruption of the field's 200,000 barrel per day (bpd) operations, officials said.
