BAGHDAD (Reuters) - A suspected bomb on a railway line hit a train carrying oil products near Baghdad on Thursday, causing a huge fire, Iraqi police said. They said one person was killed and four wounded in the blaze.

The train was carrying oil derivatives from a refinery in the Doura district in the south of the capital, where the incident occurred.

One police source said he believed a bomb targeted the train, while another said it may have been an accident. Reuters cameramen said the incident caused a huge blaze, with smoke and flame pouring into the air.

Police said one person had been killed. It was not immediately clear if they were on the train or passing by.

1. Funny how oil came from Iraq for years under Saddam

Even with old stuff it all seemed to work. We can fill our cars faster than the people living in the country where so much oil comes from. Bush's war for oil has not turned out so well but I am willing to bet we will find out 'our' companies are still making money selling it from Iraq, My faith is zero on oil corp. My husband worked for them for 10 years.:thumbsdown:
