　〔★は大沼〕◎英紙インディペンデント　：　Isis seizes Ramadi: After Iraq’s worst defeat in the war with the Islamic militants, battle is on to defend the road to Baghdad
　（１９日付け）⇒　http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/isis-seizes-ramadi-after-iraqs-worst-defeat-in-the-war-with-the-islamic-militants-battle-now-is-to-defend-the-road-to-baghdad-10259457.html

　・　Armoured vehicles belonging to the Iraqi army’s so-called “Golden Division”, considered its best unit, could be seen streaming out of Ramadi in a retreat that looked, at times, as if it had turned into a rout. Heavy equipment, including armoured Humvees and artillery, was abandoned.

　・　US generals have been downplaying the extent of the calamity, but the US policy of rebuilding the Iraqi army and aiding it with US air power is in ruins.

　・　Four suicide bombers killed at least 10 police and wounded 15, including Colonel Muthana al-Jabri, the chief of the Malaab police station. Later in the day, three suicide bombers drove cars packed with explosives into the gate of the Anbar Operation Command, the military headquarters for Anbar province, killing a further five soldiers and wounding 12.

　・　The US has conducted 19 air strikes in the vicinity of Ramadi in the last 72 hours.

  ・　Among senior Shia leaders in Baghdad there is a growing feeling that they have no choice but to look to Shia militias for their salvation, even if this angers the Americans and alienates the Sunnis.
