ERBIL, Kurdistan Region-- The Islamic State (ISIS) dismantled a refinery near Baiji, and transported it to the northern city of Mosul, Iraqi military sources said.

Military officials and witnesses said that ISIS militants dismantled a Chinese refinery for crude oil in the western region of Baiji, and transported it by large trucks to Mosul through unpaved roads in ISIS-controlled territory.

“The Chinese refinery is still under the control of ISIS militants, we have heard about it but we're not sure as we do not know what is going on there,” the mayor Baiji Mohamed Mahmoud told Rudaw.
