BAGHDAD — The Iraqi government on Sunday announced plans to crack down on militiamen ripping off gas stations and oil distribution centers.
It is widely believed that gas stations and distribution centers, especially in eastern Baghdad and some southern Iraqi provinces, are covertly controlled by Shiite militiamen dominated by radical cleric Moqtada al-Sadr’s Mahdi Army.
They in turn make large sums of money by selling smuggled gas and kerosene on the black market.
