                         Fierce Clashes in Iraq Kill 30

   by VOA News

   Iraqi security sources say government forces and Islamic State
   militants engaged in fierce clashes Wednesday, leaving about 30 people
   dead.

   The clashes took place in Iraq's western province of Anbar, where
   security forces have been trying to recapture Fallujah, Ramadi and
   other cities lost to militants in recent months.

   In one incident, a suicide car bomb blast destroyed a bridge in Ramadi,
   killing nine people.

   Officials say civilians were among the casualties in Wednesday's
   violence.
