Bomb neutralized in Abadan-Mahshahr pipeline

Bahram Ilkhas Zadeh told Mehr News that “yesterday evening following the unconfirmed news about a bomb in Abadan-Mahshahr oil pipeline, the security forces had explored and neutralized the bomb successfully.”

Ilkhs Zadeh told that the investigation was being carried out into the event. “Given the Abadan’s oil refinery plant, the city is crossed by many pipelines including oil and gas transfer lines,” he added.

Mahshahr has been occasionally target of some explosions such as oil and gas pipeline explosions due to the corrosion in the pipelines, since large numbers of oil and petrochemical companies are active in the city and also because of its proximity to Imam Khomeini port Special Zone.
