Iraqi forces have pushed the Daesh organization militants out of the western town of al-Baghdadi near a key base where the US Marines are training Iraqi military troops, recapturing the police station and three bridges over the Euphrates, the US military announced.
Iraqi Security Forces and tribal militia from the Anbar region also pushed the Daesh fighters from seven villages northwest of al-Baghdadi on the road to Haditha, the Combined Joint Task Force said in a statement.
Al-Baghdadi is located about 3 miles (5 km) northeast of Ain al-Asad air base, where US Marines are training Iraqi military forces to help them confront Daesh militants who overran part of northwestern Iraq last year.
The militants seized the bridges around al-Baghdadi in September. Fighting for control of al-Baghdadi stepped up in recent weeks, and a top US commander said two weeks ago that Iraqi forces appeared to be on the verge of driving out the militants.
