Shiite militias advance on IS positions

(28 May 2015) Iraqi Shiite militia fighters were on Thursday advancing on positions reportedly held by Islamic State militants in Al Nibae district, 50 kilometres (31 miles) northwest of Baghdad. Smoke rose over the area as fighters from the Popular Mobilisation Front moved against the IS group. An Iraqi military spokesman said on Wednesday that IS militants have carried out multiple suicide attacks on the army in western Anbar province. On Tuesday, Iraq vowed to retake Anbar province, now mostly held by the Islamic State group, by launching a large-scale military operation. Troops will be backed by Shiite and Sunni paramilitary forces during the operation. IS militants seized large swaths of territory in the north and west of the country last summer.
