In a late-night televised address, Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al- Abadi said the operation to retake the city in the western province of Anbar had begun. A statement from the military said counterterrorism forces, police, tribal fighters and popular mobilization units — which include an array of Shiite militias — will be involved. U.S.-supplied F-16 jets already have begun bombing targets in the city, the statement said. Civilians were urged to stay away from Islamic State headquarters. Few expect an easy fight. Islamic State militants have dug in and built defenses in the city since capturing it more than two years ago, the first in the country to fall to the extremist group.
