An Iraqi security forces member stands looking at smoke billowing from the Ajeel oil field located 35km (22 miles) northeast of Tikrit on March 11, 2015 after it was reportedly set on fire by the Islamic State jihadist (IS) group to provide cover from air strikes during the military operation by Iraqi pro-government forces to retake the city.
