(CNSNews.com) — Iraqi Security Forces now have full control of the city of Ramadi and its outskirts, but "there's still thousands, if not tens of thousands, of booby traps, IEDs, (and) houses rigged to blow," Army Col. Steve Warren told reporters on Wednesday.
"We've see refrigerators with bombs in them. We've seen this enemy actually rig Qurans to blow, if touched."
(CNSNews.com) – After a conspicuous absence last year, references to Iran and its terrorist proxy Hezbollah returned to the "Terrorism" subsection of the intelligence community's 2016 Worldwide Threat Assessment, presented to the Senate Armed Services Committee on Tuesday.
"Iran continues to be the foremost state sponsor of terrorism and exerts its influence in regional crises in the Mideast, through the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps–Qods Force, its terrorist partner Lebanese Hezbollah, and proxy groups," Director of National Intelligence James Clapper told the committee, reading from his submitted assessment.
