Opec under siege as Isil threatens world’s oil lifeline
By Andrew Critchlow: 30 May 2015
Thick black smoke rising from the Baiji oil refinerycould be seen as a dirty smudge on the horizon as far away as Baghdad after fighters from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil) set fire to the enormous processing plant just over 100 miles north of the capital last week.
The decision to torch the refinery, which once produced around a third of Iraq’s domestic fuel supplies, was made as the insurgents prepared to pull out of Baiji, which they captured last June in a victory that sent shock waves across world oil markets.
The TRUTH will set you FREE.
