IS conflict: Iraqi forces 'retake key Ramadi district'

Unknown

Iraqi security forces personnel take up positions on the frontline on the outskirts of Ramadi (30 November 2015)
 The Counter-Terrorism Service said it
had cleared the south-western area of Tamim on Tuesday after a fierce battle.
Soldiers and militiamen have been preparing for months for a final assault on Ramadi, and recently told residents to leave the city centre.
Ramadi was captured by IS in May in an embarrassing defeat for the Iraqi army.
Last month, government forces completed their encirclement of the city when they retook the Palestine Bridge, which straddles the River Euphrates in the north-west.
