Iraqi forces began their assault on the Islamic State-occupied city of Ramadi on Monday night and have advanced to the city center, according to Iraqi and U.S. military officials. "We went into the center of Ramadi from different axes, and we started clearing residential areas," Gen. Sabah al-Numani told the New York Times. Both Iraqi military and Sunni tribal forces are cooperating in the effort to retake the city. According to a tweet from Kuwaiti news agency Al Rai's international correspondent, the Iraqi government has said that U.S. Special Forces are participating in the attack as well
