Iraqi forces have begun to build up on their victory by tightening the noose on the second largest stronghold of Daesh, the city of Fallujah in Anbar province. The operation comes as terrorists have increased their bombing attacks in Baghdad, though Iraqi security officials say the terror attacks are just a coincidence and have nothing to do with the ongoing offensive. Press TV’s Altaf Ahmad has talked to high-ranking Iraqi officers in Baghdad on the current situation.
