Oil Above $107
VIENNA, Austria -- Oil prices rose by more than a dollar Thursday, as the bombing of a key Iraqi pipeline extended a buying spree spurred by an anemic dollar and lower U.S. fuel inventories, according to the Associated Press.
Crude prices, which already spiked by nearly $5 on Thursday, were propelled higher by the second bombing in a week in Basra, where Iraqi security forces have been clashing with Shiite militia fighters.
