Ramadi has fallen

  On Sunday the city of Ramadi had fallen to an Islamic state group; Iraqi forces were forced to abandon their posts and the provincial capital despite support from U.S. airstrikes. Bodies were scattered on the street as officials reported that the militants carried out mass killings of Iraq security and civilians. "Ramadi has fallen" said a spokesperson for the Anbar province. 
   The attack  began with four bombings targeted at police officers killing at least 10 and wounding 15 others. Soon after fighting occurred between the police and the Islamic militants, later the  extremists sized Malaab after the police withdrew. 
  Defeat stricken the Prime Minister Haider al- Abadi ordered forces not to abandon their posts across the region,fearing that if they did the whole desert area could be taken over.
