Nearly 100 people were killed in Iraq on Tuesday amidst clashes between government forces and al-Qaeda-linked militants for control of two major cities. At least 25 fighters were killed when Iraqi warplanes bombed Ramadi, which is partially under control of a group called the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, or ISIL. Iraqi forces have also surrounded Fallujah in preparation for a potential assault to retake the city. Thousands of Fallujah residents have fled to avoid being trapped in the crossfire.
