Iraq's counter-terrorism forces, backed by the army's fighter jets, responded to the attack against the refinery near the city of Baiji, located 200 kilometers (125 miles) north of the capital Baghdad, on Friday.

Dozens of the Takfiri murderous Moslems were reportedly killed and injured in the counter-offensive.

Iraqi officials said the murderous Moslems took their injured to the Baiji hospital where they forced people to donate blood for them.

The refinery has been a scene of fierce fighting between the two sides since late June.
