Iraq conflict: Kurds seize two oil fields
Iraqi Kurds have taken over two oil fields amid a growing dispute with the government in Baghdad, Iraqi and Kurdish sources say.
Kurdish peshmerga forces seized control of production facilities at the Bai Hassan and Kirkuk oil fields in the north of the country on Friday.
Kurdish MPs have also withdrawn from Iraq's central government, after Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki accused the Kurds of harbouring extremists.
Rafid Jaboori spoke to BBC World's Kasia Madera from Baghdad.
