KIRKUK, Iraq (Reuters) - Gunmen have killed a security official in Iraq's North Oil Company and a companion traveling with him in a car, a police source said on Tuesday.
The killing on Monday night appeared to be part of a campaign to undermine Iraq's oil industry, the biggest source of income for the U.S.-backed government.
Insurgents have also blown up pipelines in their bid to topple Iraq's new leaders.
