Anbar Antics: turbans gather near Ramadi, troops find turban bombs cache


Islamic State members gather at some regions, west of Anbar: Source

Anbar (IraqiNews.com) A security source from Anbar province has revealed presence of Islamic State members gathering at some regions, west of the province.

Speaking to Almaalomah website, the source from the pro-government al-Hashd al-Shaabi (Popular Mobilization Forces) said, “intelligence sources indicated infiltration of some IS militants into west of Ramadi city to launch attacks against security troops.”

Security troops, according to the source, “took strict measures and started wide-scale campaigns targeting regions that are near from where the militants are hiding.”

Anbar provincial council had previously indicated infiltration by militants from Syria toward western Anbar regions without being targeted by U.S. jets.

Last week, the Joint Operations Command said the group’s supreme leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is at Eastern Euphrates region, where U.S. troops are deployed.
