BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraqi forces have cut Islamic State's last remaining supply line into the western city of Ramadi by seizing a key bridge, Iraqi officials and a military officer said on Thursday.
The capture of Palestine Bridge completes the siege of the city and marks the beginning of a new phase to clear it one neighborhood at a time.
"The bridge is now entirely under our control," said Sabah al-Numani, spokesman for the Iraqi Counter terrorism forces.
