Iraqi Forces Break Jihadist Siege

Iraqi forces broke the Islamic State group's months-long siege of the country's largest oil refinery Saturday as America's top officer flew in to discuss the expanding war against the jihadists.

Iraqi forces broke through to the jihadist-besieged town of Amerli on Sunday, where thousands of people have been trapped for more than two months with dwindling food and water, officials said.
