Islamic State terrorists in Fallujah-Baghdad-Karbala triangle

Da’ish organization (Islamic State) is trying for the last ten days to control Amiriyat al-Fallujah (Anbar province) in preparation to open a new front towards Baghdad and Shiite city of Karbala, as reported by extremist sites.

Da’ish gunmen are trying to enter the city from several fronts, while tribesmen, pro-government Sahwa (Awakening) forces and the governmental army are trying to hinder the progress of Da’ish moves.

Security observers believe that Amiriyat al-Fallujah area is a “vital” passage to the extremists if they directed their forces to Baghdad or Shiite Karbala city.

Da’ish is trying a psychological warfare these days by publishing photos on the social networks of the numbers of his gunmen, who are trying to storm into the city.

Amiriyat al-Fallujah lies 40 km west of Baghdad with a population of about 110.000 citizens, mostly Sunni Arabs.
