Iraqi Army Spokesman: Iraqi Soldiers Close To Retaking Ramadi



VOA: Spokesman: Iraqi Soldiers Close to Retaking Ramadi

An Iraqi army spokesman says Iraqi troops have pushed deeper into the heart of Ramadi, where they have been engaged in a weeklong offensive to take back a government complex from Islamic State militants after losing control of the city seven months ago.

Recapturing the complex would tip the balance in Ramadi, once again giving the army control of the key city, which is the capital of Anbar province. But the neighborhood surrounding the complex is dotted with landmines.
