U.S. and Israel negotiate the Haifa pipeline

The British Observer newspaper said that CIA confirmed U.S. and Israel carried out negotiations to open the Kirkuk-Haifa oil pipeline and Shiite leader Ahmet Celebi also joined these meetings. A CIA official said that the opening of the pipeline was the dream of the officials in the Bush administration because the energy supply of both Israel and U.S. would be ensured. The Haifa pipeline has been closed since the end of British sovereignty in Palestine in 1948. Â
