Iraq’s armed forces have repelled a major attack by extremists on Baiji oil refinery in northern Iraq, Al Arabiya News Channel on Friday.

Last month the army seized control of the country’s largest oil refinery after a prolonged siege.

But fighters of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) have since fought back seeking to re-impose their control around the sprawling oil facility.
