Iraqi PM tours Ramadi to hail city’s liberation from IS

A triumphant Iraqi prime minister has toured the western city of Ramadi, just a day after government troops routed Islamic State militants from the area and recaptured a key government complex.

Iraqi state TV reported that Haider Abadi was in Ramadi but offered no further details, but an Iraqi military commander, Brigadier General Ahmed Belawi said the prime minister kicked off the visit by meeting security and provincial officials for updates.
