BP Shuts Down Pipeline Through Georgia

LONDON (AP) ― Oil company BP PLC says it has shut down a pipeline that runs through Georgia as a precautionary measure, but says that it is unaware of any Russian bombing of pipelines in the region.

The London-based oil company says it closed the 90,000-barrel-a-day oil pipeline running from Baku on the Caspian Sea to Supsa on Georgia's Black Sea coast earlier Tuesday.

BP spokesman Robert Wine says that the Baku-Supsa line was closed because it runs through the center of Georgia where there is greater risk of conflict.
