Iraqi leader hails early gains in Fallujah push
Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al Abadi announced big successes as government troops launched an offensive to retake Fallujah from Islamic State militants. Airstrikes and artillery aided actions in Garma district while coalition planes carried out two strikes. Abadi toured the front line vowing the Iraqi flag would be raised over Fallujah. IS fighters in Anbar were estimated at about 1,000 and dropping. The operation follows months of planning and past delays and risks delaying Mosul retake.
