In <b>Ramadi </b>today,
security forces have established control over areas around Ramadi while
tightening their stranglehold on the eastern areas where they are now in total
control of eastern <b>Husayba </b>and <b>Juwayba</b>, and of the areas across the river from
the city. Fierce clashes have been underway in the eastern outskirts where 3
explosives-rigged were blown up before the ISIL gunmen could drive them toward
their intended targets. Military operations have also been underway in the
southern and southwestern outskirts of the city, and in the city's western
areas. Iraqi and Coalition air strikes today have killed at least 13 ISIL
gunmen in the southwestern sector. In northern Ramadi, security forces have
taken control of the <st1:street w:st="on">Ramadi-Fallujah
