| 2014-04-13 |
| Heavy fighting between Iraqi security forces and Al-Qaeda-linked militants and antigovernment tribesmen has been reported in Ramadi. Clashes with shoot-outs and large explosions were reported in the city. Clashes have also been ongoing in nearby Fallujah and other towns and villages in Anbar. Fighting has intensified since Iraqi security forces pulled out of several parts of Ramadi on April 8. The Women's and Children's Hospital in the heart of the city was damaged by mortar fire, wounding four people. In Fallujah, clashes and indiscriminate shelling continued into the night. Widespread clashes are also taking place in Al-Garma township to the northeast of the city. |
