Iraq says oil industry in disrepair limits program gains
Iraqi air minister Lt Gen Amer Mohamimed Rashid said the oil-for-food increase to 5.2 billion dollars over six months cannot be fully used due to production decline and price drops. He pegged current capacity at 2.3 million bpd with potential to 2.65 million, enabling more domestic use and exports. A UN inspection accord with Tariq Aziz would form a committee to review eight presidential compounds.
