ISIS fighting to the death inside Falluja

[NATION.PK] The sound of gunfire exchanged between Iraqi forces and the small pockets of ISIS murderous Moslems rang out across the besieged city of Falluja, American media reported on Sunday.

ISIS defenses collapsed as Iraqi special forces made rapid advances into the heart of the city Friday- their fiercest push yet to retake Falluja - but by Saturday morning, the battle waged on.

During a televised address, Iraq's Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said "we promised you the liberation of Falluja and we retook it," the region's governor later declaring on Twitter that Falluja has "returned to the nation."

But, according to a CNN crew who accompanied troops into Falluja on Saturday, the city appeared far from liberated, despite claims to the contrary by the Iraqi government.

In a symbolic victory, troops from the Iraqi Federal Police raised the national flag over the mayor's office Friday, claiming control over the city center, something Iraq hasn't been able to claim in more than two years.
