U.S.-Trained Iraqi Troops Joining Fight to Retake Ramadi

Iraqi forces are being bolstered in their efforts to recapture the key city of Ramadi from Islamic State by U.S.-trained troops, the Pentagon chief was told on Thursday.

Defense Secretary Ashton Carter, on his first visit to Iraq as Pentagon chief, was briefed on the impact of the U.S. training mission on a stalled Iraqi offensive to retake the city, which fell to jihadists in May.
