A bomb exploded on a gas pipeline near Tikrit at dawn Monday, in northern Iraq, police said.
The blast ignited a fire but caused minimal damage to the pipeline, they said.
The authorities said they halted the flow of gas temporarily, to put out the fire and repair damage. The stoppage was expected to last one or two days, they said.
The damaged pipe carries natural gas from areas northeast of Tikrit to the Beiji refinery, northern Iraq's largest such facility.
Tikrit lies 130 kilometers north of Baghdad
