Iraq's biggest oil refinery was closed on Saturday after gunmen carried out a bomb attack and set it on fire, the governor of Salahuddin province said.
The attackers killed four people and planted bombs at production units for kerosene and benzene at the refinery in the town of Baiji, about 180 km north of Baghdad, Governor Ahmed al-Jubouri told Reuters.
The refinery operates at 70 percent of its capacity and produces 11 million litres of gasoline, 7 million litres of benzene and 4.5 million litres of kerosene a day.
