As we've been hearing in the news, fighting has been raging these last few days in and around the Georgian breakaway region of South Ossetia.

The BTC pipeline links vital oil fields from Central Asia to the Mediterranean. And it runs right through Georgia. Oil giant BP says so far, fighting has not damaged the pipeline.
