Iraqi security forces have regained full control of the Baiji oil refinery after clearing out remaining Islamic State fighters, the U.S. military said Sunday.
The recapture of the facility in northern Iraq means the radical Sunni Islamic State organization can’t generate oil revenue in Iraq, although it also holds land in neighboring Syria.
