ISIS Captures 7 'Oil Fields' and Iraq's Largest Supply of Wheat!





http://bit.ly/1zfNXza Iraqi officials said on Wednesday that the militants were holding government silos in five of Iraq's most fertile provinces, where the United Nations World Food Program (WFP) says 40 percent of the country’s wheat is grown. The output capacity of the ISIL-held oil fields amounts to 80,000 barrels a day, said the International Energy Agency (IEA) in a monthly oil market report on Tuesday. The ISIL, which already held the Najma, Qayara, Himreen, Ajeel and Balad fields, managed to capture the Ain Zalah and Batma fields in Nineveh province earlier this month. According to the IEA, the militants are currently about 30 kilometers (19 miles) away from Bai Hassan, the country’s fourth-biggest field, situated near Kirkuk. The potential oil flow from Iraq’s ISIL-held deposits is commensurate to about $8.4 million a day on international markets. Iraq, which has the world’s fifth-biggest crude reserves, came under a massive blitz by the ISIL Takfiri militants in June. Apart from oil, the militants have also grabbed large supplies of grain in government silos and the country’s biggest dam. http://bit.ly/1vLhh2r
