The need for military style security and expansive insurance in light of ongoing terror attacks would require foreign investors to add millions to the cost of operating in Iraq. Massive capital investment is required to develop the industry's capacity in Iraq, and militant trade unions that have flexed their muscles through strikes in recent years - and which bitterly oppose foreign oil companies taking charge of developing Iraq's fields - add to the headache facing potential investors...
