Iraq has launched a military offensive against the Islamic State of
Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) in the latest attempt to oust the armed group
from the strategic province of Salaheddin, which includes the ancient
city of Tikrit.
Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abbadi arrived on Sunday in the
northern city of Samarra in Salaheddin to oversee the military
operation, and vowed to "liberate" the province "from the tyranny of the
terrorists".
Thousands of government troops, fighters from Shia militia and Sunni
tribes have gathered around Samarra for the operation in the nearby
strongholds of ISIL near the Tigris River, Al Jazeera has learned.
