AQ Makes Gains in Iraq

Qaeda makes gains in Iraq city after days of violence - Iraq | ReliefWeb: 
"Anger at the Shiite-led government among the Sunni minority is seen as one of the main drivers of the worst violence to hit Iraq in five years.

Fighters from the Al-Qaeda-linked Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), which operates in both Iraq and neighbouring Syria, advanced amid early morning clashes into areas of central Ramadi and deployed snipers on one street, a police captain said.
Iraqiya state television later reported that Iraq's Counter-Terrorism Service "killed two snipers and burned four vehicles carrying terrorists" in the city.
A police colonel said the army had re-entered areas of Fallujah, between Ramadi and Baghdad, but that around a quarter of it remained under ISIL control."
