Iraqi security forces broke up a protest today by people seeking work at the OAO Lukoil-operated West Qurna-2 oil field, an official of the Moscow-based energy company said.
Several dozen people blocked the entrance to a central processing facility run by Samsung Group, the official said, asking not to be identified due to company policy. The army and police were called in to restore order after the gathering turned violent, the person said.
