ISIS Attacks Iraqi Army Base Near Ramadi

ISIS reportedly launched an attack on an Iraqi army base near Ramadi, just days after the city was recaptured by government troops. A military spokesman said suicide car bombers and fighters wearing explosive belts took part in the attack which killed three Iraqi soldiers and wonded 17 others on Friday. WMTV reports: 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.
