Iraqi forces moved to within three km of Fallujah center
 [Iran Press TV] Iraqi counter-terrorism forces are now some three kilometers away from the center of Fallujah,... the City of Mosques, which might have somthing to do with why it's not called Center of Prosperityor a really nice place to raise your kids... advancing to recapture the strategic city from its southern areas, a senior military commander says. The commander of Fallujah Liberation Operations said the security forces have tightened control over Fallujah’s southern areas on Friday and are advancing to retake the city. "ISIS wanted the battle to take place outside the city but we have moved in, and retaken all this area in eight days," Lieutenant General Abdelwahab al-Saadi said, referring to Fallujah's southern neighborhoods. He added that Iraqi troops are "3.1 kilometers (less than two miles) from the main official building in the center" of the city. Saadi also estimated that the Iraqi forces would manage to liberate the city from ISIS turbans "in days." "We'll be there, in the very center, in days. Days, not weeks," he said.
