将伊斯兰国激进分子驱逐出西部安巴尔省的联合军事行动正在展开。五角大楼一位发言人表示,随着第一阶段的展开,行动已经接近被占领的城市拉马迪。但是他拒绝证实什叶派义勇军组织宣称的这座城市已经被亲政府军占领的说法。Gary O'Donoghue报道。

“The Pentagon spokesman Colonel Steve Warren said that the Iraq forces in the largely-Shia Popular Mobilisation front have become what he called probing and reconnaissance operations closed to Ramadi, moving out of the town of Habbaniya.
