Ismail al-Mahlawi, head of military operations in Anbar, said that troops had only retaken the [central government] complex itself, and parts of the city remained under ISIS control.<\/p>\n<p>The complex was thought to have been the last holdout for a few dozen ISIS militia members who had tried to slow the Iraqi advance through the city with snipers and improvised explosive devices. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yes, the city of Ramadi has been liberated. The Iraqi counter-terrorism forces have raised the Iraqi flag over the government complex in Anbar,&#8221; joint operations spokesman Brig. Gen. Yahya Rahsool said in a statement broadcast on state televiison. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The Iraqi government claims that most civilians had evacuated the city before the hostilities began and that the focus will now be on restoring government services so the city can be rebuilt. You might remember how a few months ago, the Obama Administration downplayed the loss of the city as unimportant.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fox News reports that the Iraqi city, Ramadi, has been liberated from ISIS forces which took &hellip; <a title=\"Iraq claims that Ramadi is &#8220;fully liberated&#8221;\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=63530\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Iraq claims that Ramadi is &#8220;fully liberated&#8221;<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":63531,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-63530","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-terror-war"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63530","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=63530"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63530\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/63531"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=63530"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=63530"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=63530"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
