Baghdad, December 11 (RHC)-- The Iraqi government says it’s made gains despite suffering new casualties in its campaign to retake Ramadi from the Islamic State.
At least two dozen Iraqi soldiers were reportedly killed in a pair of suicide bombings. But Iraq says it now controls more than half of Ramadi and plans a new push to root out the remaining ISIL fighters.
The Pentagon meanwhile claims it’s killed three top Islamic State leaders in recent bombings. Army Colonel Steve Warren said U.S.-led strikes have killed ISIL’s finance chief and two other senior figures.
