Quick facts: Work on this site dates to the early 1990s. Full-scale
construction began in August 2001 and was funded by the UN oil-for-food
program. Work was reportedly halted even before the U.S. invasion when the
money ran out. The facility was secured and construction was scheduled to
restart in mid-2003 but Russian engineers and staff were attacked by local
insurgents and the plant compound eventually became a forward patrol-base
for Iraqi and US troops. The project is said to be about 20% complete, but
much materiel has been looted Photograph
