Iraq says exports resumed two days after self inflicted boat bombings at the Khawr al Amaya and Al Basra oil terminals in the Gulf. A Jordanian al Qaida linked militant claimed responsibility. The attacks killed three sailors and wounded five, with output losses around 350 000 barrels. The Al Basra terminal was back online and Khawr al Amaya partially damaged but operating. The claim cites Jamaat al Tawhid wa'l Jihad via al Zarqawi, tying to the USS Cole style strikes.
