Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki has decided to send reinforcements to the restive Anbar province to combat al-Qaeda-linked militants there. According to Iraqi media, Maliki reversed his decision to withdraw army from the western province in response to requests from residents and local officials. Earlier, the prime minister defended his decision to deploy troops in the restive province, saying the battle against terrorism would continue to the end. On Wednesday, Iraqi security forces entered sporadic clashes with militants who burned four police stations in Ramadi. Anbar province has been gripped by deadly violence since Monday after police and the army dismantled an anti-government protest camp in Ramadi. Show Less >>
