Iraq's largest oil refinery has been shut down following death threats to tanker drivers, jeopardising supplies of electricity across northern Iraq. The threats followed a steep rise in the price of petrol earlier this month, ordered by the government. The oil ministry said the shutdown at Baiji was costing $20m (£12m) a day. The ministry said it hoped the refinery, which has been out of action since the weekend, would be back up and running within days. "Efforts are being made to convince the drivers to return to work," a spokesman said. The Baiji refinery normally produces 8.5m litres (2.2m gallons) of petrol per day, along with 7.5m litres of diesel.
