Iraq: Battle for Iraq’s largest oil refinery far from over
It looks like the battle for control of the town that is home to Iraq’s largest oil refinery is far from over.
Latest footage from the area shows Iraqi soldiers engaged in heavy fighting with ISIL militants.
There have been mixed reports about the fate of the town and the refinery since being overrun by the militants in June.
Meanwhile, images of bullet-ridden vehicles and bodies thought to be Kurdish fighters and Syrian rebels have emerged on social media sites.
