A combined military campaign is on the way to drive Islamic State militants 1 out of??the western province of Anbar. A Pentagon spokesman said that as the first stage probing operation to taking place closed to the occupied city of Ramadi.But he declines to confirm a Shia militia 2 group’s??assertion that the city was already surrounded by pro-government forces. Gary O'Donoghue reports. 


一场把伊斯兰极端分子逐出西部城市安巴尔省的联合军事斗争进行的如火如荼。一位五角大楼发言人声称,作为军事斗争的第一阶段,这次斗争发生在被占领的城市拉马迪附近。但是他否认什叶民兵组织所说的拉马迪已被支持政府武装力量包围的言论。下面是盖里·欧道格报道: 


“The Pentagon spokesman? ?Colonel Steve Warren said that the Iraq forces in the largely-Shia Popular Mobilisation front have become what he called probing and reconnaissance operations closed to Ramadi, moving out of the town of Habbaniya. But he was critical at the name given to the operation by the Shia militias 3 which focus on a grandson of a prophet, particularly important to Shias. That was unhelpful, said Colonel Warren. Washington has long been concerned about the potential for sectarian conflicts in largely-Sunni Anbar and it is also trying to recruit Sunni tribes in the area to assist with the fighting. “


“五角大楼发言人科罗内尔·史蒂夫·华伦称,伊拉克部队在大众动员(前行动)已经离开Habbaniya开始向拉马迪附近地区进行侦查和探测。。但是他对什叶对此次行动的命名极为谨慎,该名字是一位预言家孙子的名字,尤其是对什叶很重要的预言家。科罗内尔·华伦表示,这项举措毫无意义。华盛顿方面对阿巴内尔主要的逊尼派宗教的教派斗争关注已久,并试图招募该地区的逊尼派教参加斗争。”
