A group of gunmen blew up a bomb at the Bai Hassan oil field in Iraq’s northern province of Kirkuk on Wednesday, China’s news agency Xinhua reported, citing a provincial police chief.
So far no group has claimed responsibility for the attack.
The Kurdish military forces, the Peshmerga, arrived at the scene after the militants had fled and found another two bombs at other installations in the oil field, but managed to defuse them.
Last week, ISIS fighters killed five people in an attack on Bai Hassan, and attempted to take down a gas compression station nearby as well, where they planted bombs after killing four guards. The fifth victim was an engineer working at field.
Sources from the Peshmerga forces said that the attack on the gas station was neutralized and that three of the four ISIS terrorists involved in the double hit were killed, one of them managing to blow himself up, causing explosions in oil storage tanks. The fourth one escaped.

We should blow up any oil field that’s funding ISIS.
Damn right.
Get rid of global supply glut of oil, and terrorists simultaneously.....
Don’t worry. They’ll make more.
Oil or terrorists ?
Oil wells. There’s lots of them. :-)
It’s been this way post-WW2.
We just aren’t willing to do what it takes to win wars. We have the means.
