LONDON, Aug. 28 (UPI) -- Operations at a key oil field in the Kurdish north of Iraq are "essentially uninterrupted" by violence, the top executive of Gulf Keystone Petroleum said.
Peshmerga, a Kurdish military force, has fought against the Islamic State, the Sunni-led insurgency group that's taken control over parts of northwestern Iraq and Syria. Some energy companies operating in the region have suspended operations as a security precaution.
