Fresh violence in Iraq, Friday 20 August 2004,has seen oil prices surge to new records, nearing $50 a barrel. New York light crude climbed as high as $48.98 a barrel in Asian trading, following threats of militia attacks on Iraqi pipelines. Purnomo Yusgiantoro, president of oil cartel Opec, told reporters he was concerned about the rising oil price. He added, however, that the group would wait until its next meeting, scheduled for September, before acting. NABIL MOUNZER ANSA-CD
