Backed by allied Shiite and Sunni fighters, Iraqi security forces on Monday began a large-scale military operation to recapture Saddam Hussein's hometown from Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), state TV said, a major step in a campaign to reclaim a large swath of territory in northern Iraq controlled by the militants.
     

Iraqi soldiers battling the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) recaptured the heart of the town of Beiji, home to the country's largest oil refinery, state television and a military official said Nov. 11.
     

Turkey will meet northern Iraq’s additional 4,000 tons of processed oil demand, the Turkish energy minister has said, but warned of border gate restraints amid fuel scarcity in the region after the shutdown of Iraq’s biggest refinery.
