province, as government troops press ahead with their
siege of two cities overrun by an al-Qaida-linked group.
The Iraqi Defense Ministry says, an airstrike has killed 25
fighters from the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant. The
Iraqi air force struck the operations center for the terror
network in the city of Ramadi.
Security forces backed by tribal fighters have now
regained control in the center of Anbar's provincial capital,
and are also battling for control of Fallujah.
Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki earlier urged Fallujah
residents to expel the militants to avoid an all-out battle in
the besieged city. The militants -- who are also involved in
the fighting in neighboring Syria -- have held the two cities
since last Wednesday
