"Bezebz Bridge that stretches between Baghdad and Anbar province until this moment is closed," Saad Maan, Baghdad operations front man, announced on Sunday. Fierce fighting in Anbar's quiet provincial capital of Ramadi and its surrounding areas has sent up to 110,000 refugees fleeing towards Baghdad over the past month with many now living on the outskirts of the city. Maan said authorities intended to open the bridge to the refugees after "bureaucratic steps" were taken but did say when or what procedures were necessary. | |
