ISIS militants attacked a natural gas plant in Iraq Sunday, killing at least 14 people, officials said.
The group launched a coordinated assault on the plant in Taji, north of the capital of Baghdad, at dawn when a car bomb exploded at the main gate, the Associated Press reported.
A medical official confirmed the casualty figures to AP but spoke on condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to release information. A further 27 people were injured.
