AMMAN, Jordan Oct. 28 — Jordan will import oil from Iraq for the first time since the U.S.-led war began, but the quantity will be half what it used to be, the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources said Tuesday.

An agreement covering the import of 2.6 million barrels of Iraqi crude oil annually was concluded recently, the ministry's secretary-general, Khaldoun Kteishat, told The Associated Press. He declined to provide details on where and when the deal was brokered.

Iraq was Jordan's only supplier of oil before the war broke out on March 20.
