Forces of so-called Islamic State have launched an attack in Iraq on a town in Western Anbar Province in an apparent attempt to divert attention from the government’s offensive on Mosul.
The mayor of Rutba has described the Islamic State assault on his town from three directions as fierce.
Several policemen died as security forces sought to regain control.
Meanwhile, Kurdish Peshmerga forces launched fresh attacks to the north-east of Mosul which is occupied by IS.
