伊拉克说,伊拉克政府军从伊斯兰国组织的战士手中完全夺回了拉马迪市及其周围地区。

伊拉克军方和内政部星期二说,伊拉克军队完成了重新夺回拉马迪以东几个地区的任务,并重新开通了该市一条通往巴格达的公路。

伊斯兰国组织去年5月夺取拉马迪的控制权,给伊拉克政府和军方造成沉重打击。此后,伊拉克政府军在拉马迪市郊发动进攻,并于12月把激进分子赶出了拉马迪市中心。

伊拉克军队目前仍在努力拆除伊斯兰国组织在该市布设的大量炸弹。

Iraq says its forces have completely recaptured the city of Ramadi and surrounding areas from Islamic State fighters.

The military and interior ministry said Tuesday that Iraqi troops finished retaking several areas to the east of Ramadi, and had reopened a road that links the city to Baghdad.

Islamic State took control of Ramadi last May in what was a huge blow to the government and military. After an offensive that began on the outskirts of the city, government forces pushed the militants out of the center of Ramadi in December.

Iraqi troops are still working to dismantle a large number of bombs Islamic State left planted in the city.
