My Way News - IS group seizes government compound in Iraq's Ramadi
My Way News reports: "Islamic State militants seized the main government headquarters in
Ramadi, raising their black flag over the compound and setting it ablaze
hours after a series of suicide car bombings heralded the start of a
major new offensive by the extremists on the strategic city.
The advance marked a significant setback for the Iraqi government in its
long fight to defend Ramadi, the capital of western Anbar province,
where Iraqi forces have made little progress against the extremist group
despite months of U.S.-led airstrikes."
Comment: It would be unfortunate if IS took and secured Ramadi. It would be hard to make the case that IS is in retreat if that happens.
