The Kurdish government in northern Iraq said the flow of crude oil to a Turkish sea port was halted because of theft at the start of a Muslim holy day. On Thursday, Muslims honored the holy day of Eid al-Adha. The semiautonomous Kurdistan Regional Government said saboteurs targeted a crude oil pipeline running north to the Turkish sea port at Ceyhan.
