Fire at oil well in western Iran kills 3 people
Iran's state radio is reporting that a fire at an oil well in western Iran has killed three people and wounded 12 others.
The report says the fire broke out Saturday morning at an oil well in Naft Shahr, near the border with Iraq. It says a gas leak from a drilling site caused the fire. Rescue teams have been dispatched. The radio did not specify the size of the oil well. Iran is OPEC's second largest oil exporter, producing around 4.2 million barrels of oil per day. (AP)
