Who Gains From Homs Refinery

Sources in Syrian intelligence announced that they had foiled a terrorist plot to target the Homs refinery, without disclosing details of the attack or the parties involved. A security expert suggested that ISIS was behind the plot, as part of efforts to weaken the Syrian economy, while also raising other possibilities, including remnants of the former regime or groups linked to Iran. However, no publicly available evidence has established who was responsible. The Energy Ministry reported that oil pipelines had been attacked 22 times since the start of the year, while the refinery is undergoing rehabilitation work on a distillation unit with a designed capacity of one million tons of crude oil per year.
