| ISIS suicide bombers attack Iraqi forces at base near Ramadi |
| 2016-01-03 |
| [CNN] Three Iraqi soldiers were killed and 17 maimed Friday when ISIS hard boys, driving 10 vehicles packed with explosives, attacked an Iraqi army base near Ramadi. The head of the Anbar Provincial Council, Sabah Al-Karhut, told CNN the attacks happened in quick succession. He said the 10 vehicles targeted the Iraqi army's 10th Division base northeast of Ramadi. Even though Iraqi forces have managed to drive ISIS jihadists out of the center of Ramadi, local tribal leaders said this week that ISIS still controls as much as 25% of the city, and significant pockets of ISIS resistance remain. Still, Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi visited the bombed-out city this week, raising the Iraqi flag and declaring that 2016 "will be the year we drive ISIS out of Iraq." |
