Iraqi forces have massed around Ramadi to liberate city
The Iraqi army, backed by volunteer forces, has retaken parts of a town in Anbar province from the ISIL terrorists.
The operation targeted the town of Husaybah east of the provincial capital Ramadi. Officials say the town's police station and surrounding areas have been liberated. They added that the operation is progressing rapidly. This is the first counterattack by government forces since Ramadi fell to the Takfiris. Iraqi forces earlier massed around the city in a move to liberate it. The ISIL terrorists took control of Ramadi following a deadly three-day blitz last week. They've been trying to gain more ground east of the city towards the capital Baghdad.
