Kurds pump oil from Kirkuk in defiance of Iraq government - FT.com:
"Iraq’s autonomous Kurdistan region is pumping crude from the disputed province of Kirkuk into its own oil infrastructure, raising the stakes of a worsening political conflict with the central government in Baghdad.
The Kurdish Regional Government (KRG) appears to be making a serious effort to consolidate its control of the area, which is claimed by both Erbil and Baghdad, amid increasingly loud calls for Kurdish independence. Last week, Kurdish “peshmerga” forces seized control of two oilfields in Kirkuk."
