Islamic State Militants Storm Iraq's Baiji Oil Refinery

Islamic State militants launched an attack on Iraq’s largest oil refinery in Baiji on April 11, resulting in fierce clashes with Iraqi military forces. In this video captured by Aamaq news, an activist group sympathetic with the Islamic State, militants are seen gaining access to the refinery as the clashes take place.

The video description says that Islamic State militants had captured control of half the refinery, disputing reports that Iraqi forces had successfully repelled the attack. Credit: YouTube/Aamaq News
