BAGHDAD (AP) -- Attackers bombed an oil pipeline north of Baghdad, cutting production in half at a refinery in the capital, the oil ministry said Wednesday.

There were no injuries in Tuesday night's bombing in Rashidiya, just north of Baghdad.

Production at the Baghdad refinery was cut from 140,000 barrels per day to 70,000 following the attack, said Oil Ministry spokesman Assem Jihad. The pipeline runs from oil fields in northern Kirkuk province to Baghdad.

Iraq produces about 2.48 million barrels of oil per day.

Also Wednesday, a roadside bomb killed two policemen and wounded four west of Baghdad, police said.
