IRAQ-CONFLICT-FALLUJAH

A pro-government forces fighter flashes the sign for victory near al-Sejar village, in Iraq's Anbar province, on May 26, 2016, as they take part in a major assault to retake the city of Fallujah, from the Islamic State (IS) group. Tens of thousands of security forces are deployed in the Fallujah area for an assault aimed at retaking the city from the Islamic State group. Fallujah, which lies only 50 kilometres (30 miles) west of Baghdad, has been out of government control since January 2014 and is one of only two remaining major Iraqi cities still in IS hands, the other being Mosul.
