Iraqis say Iran has seized oil well in Iraq, demand withdrawal - CNN.com: "Baghdad, Iraq (CNN) -- The Iraqi government Friday demanded the withdrawal of an Iranian 'armed group' that it says seized an oil well in southern Iraq on Thursday night.
Iran is denying any takeover took place.
The Iraqi government issued a strong statement deploring the act after Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki headed an emergency meeting of Iraq's National Security Council to discuss the situation.
'The council stressed that such incidents would be considered a violation of the border and violated Iraq's sovereignty and its territories and calls upon Iran to pull out the group from well No. 4 and take down the Iranian flag from the tower of the well immediately,' Iraqi government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh said in the statement."
