Iraq is facing major clashes between government forces and Sunni fighters in Anbar province. The violence erupted earlier this week after police razed a year-old Sunni protest camp in the provincial capital, Ramadi. Militants from al-Qaeda and Sunni groups are now said to be in control of large parts of Ramadi and Fallujah. On Wednesday, fighters attacked scores of police stations in Fallujah, setting fires and freeing dozens of prisoners. Iraq is currently seeing its worst violence since 2008.
