Members of Iraqi Special Operations Forces take positions during patrol looking for militants of ISIL, explosives and weapons, in Ramadi
Members of the Iraqi Special Operations Forces take their positions during a patrol looking for militants of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), explosives and weapons, in a neighbourhood in Ramadi, June 10, 2014. Sunni fighters seized a border post on the Iraq-Syria frontier, security sources said on Saturday, June 21, 2014, smashing a line drawn by colonial powers almost a century ago with the aim of creating an Islamic Caliphate stretching from the Mediterranean Sea to Iran. The militants, led by the ISIL, first moved into the nearby town of al-Qaim on Friday, pushing out security forces, the sources said. Picture taken June 10, 2014.
