Also Friday, two rockets slammed into a group of houses near the Baghdad International Airport, killing two people and wounding eight, police said. A bomb struck an oil pipeline near Beiji, 155 miles (250 kilometers) north of Baghdad, filling the sky with thick, black smoke as clean-up crews burned the oil that was leaking into the nearby Tigris River, officials said. Abdul-Aziz Muslih, an official at the Beiji refinery, said the pipeline links oil fields in Kirkuk with Beiji. The Iraqi army had sealed off the site while firefighters battled to put out the blaze.
