Iranian warplanes bombed an oil complex in Kuwait Thursday, touching off a raging fire that damaged part of the installation but caused no casualties, acting Kuwaiti Foreign Minister Abdel Aziz Hussein said. Iranian spokesmen denied the report, which renewed fears the year-old war between Iran and Iraq would spread along the Persian Gulf and affect the flow of oil to the Western world.
