Several blown-out wells damaged by retre
Several blown-out wells damaged by retreating Iraqi soldiers in Al-Ahmadi oil field burn 05 June 1991 in southern Kuwait. In 1991, Iraqi troops retreating after a seven-month occupation, smashed and torched 727 wells, badly polluting the atmosphere and creating crude oil lakes. In addition, up to eight billion barrels of oil were split into the sea by Iraqi forces damaging marine life and coastal areas up to 400 kilometres (250 miles) away. Kuwait will seek more than 16 billion dollars compensation for environment destruction brought by Iraq during the 1991 Gulf War, Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Anba said 07 December 1998.
