According to Press TV, senior security official said on Friday that the armed forces backed by the local tribesmen were tightening the noose around the ISIL terrorists in al-Karmah, which lies some 53 kilometers east of the provincial capital, Ramadi.
Sources say Iraqi forces have also managed to cut off all supply lines of arms and ammunition for the Takfiri terrorists trapped inside the troubled region.
Large contingents of security forces are now deployed on the outskirts of the town in order to mount a major operation.
Security experts say the liberation of al-Karmah will also pave the way for clearing the city of Fallujah of ISIL terrorists.
Mohammad Naji, a commander of volunteer forces said “It is an important advancement for Iraqi forces, volunteers and tribesmen.”
Meanwhile, the commander of the Baghdad Operations Lt. Gen. Abdul-Amir al-Shammari has said that recapture of Karma district will be important to security of the capital as well.
