BySusannahGeorge The Associated Press RAMADI, IRAQ Sixtimesin the past harrowing month, Um Omar and her family got a knock on the door of whatever home they were occupying in the extrem- ist-held city of Ramadi: It was an Islamic State mil- itant, she said, ordering them to pick up and move with them as human shields because the Iraqi army was approaching. "Every time the army would advance, Daesh would knock on our door and say, 'OK, time to go,'" the woman said in an in- terview with The Associ- ated Press. The knock came again Thursday morning in the Soufiya neighborhood of northeastern Ramadi, Um Omar said, and to her sur- prise it was the counterter- rorism forces of the Iraqi military. She and about 60 other people had just been rescued. It's still a little unclear to her what happened to the extremists, said the woman, who spoke on condition she not be identified by her full name to protect relatives who may still be trapped in Ramadi. Either all the IS fighters were killed during clashes Wednesday night, or they fled further into the neigh- borhood and didn't have time to bring their captives along to another part of Ra- madi. The capital of sprawl- ing Anbar province fell in May to the IS group, also known by its Arab acro- nym Daesh. It was the big- gest setback for Iraq's mili- tary since the city of Mosul fell to the group in the sum- mer of 2014. Iraqi troops, working with the counterterrorism forces, retook the center of Ramadi last month with heavy air support from the U.S.-led coalition. Ramadi still cannot be considered fully liberated, with pockets of IS fighters still holed up in half to two- thirds of the city's neighbor- hoods in the east and north. As Iraqi government forces have advanced from west to east from down- town Ramadi and expelled IS militants in December, the extremists have pulled back with their civilian cap- tives as shields, leaving be- hind houses booby-trapped with explosives and road- side bombs. Fighters with the elite counterterrorism forces that are leading opera- tions in the Anbar provin- cial capital, 70 miles west of Baghdad, say the practice is slowing them down and complicating the already- messy challenge of house- to-house urban warfare. Heavy airstrikes and the Islamic State group's scorched-earth practices have left most of Ramadi in ruins. The devastating com- bination razed nearly ev- ery building along its main thoroughfare. On most city blocks, no house is spared damage; others are reduced to rubble. But as Iraqi forces con- tinue to advance, evacu- ations like the one that brought Um Omar and her family to safety are drain- ing time and resources from the fight to retake ter- ritory, according to troops and commanders. "The main problem now are the civilians, that is what's slowing our prog- ress," said Maj. Gen. Fadhil Barwari, the commander of the counterterrorism unit in Ramadi. Unlike other Iraqi cities like Tikrit and Beiji, where troops have pushed out the militants, thousands of ci- vilians remained in Ra- madi under months of IS rule. While the U.S.-trained counterterrorism forces are the most effective unit in the Iraqi military, they still largely depend on air sup- port to retake ground. IRAQ Militants' use of human shields in Ramadi slows progress KHALIDMOHAMMED—THEASSOCIATEDPRESS Iraqi soldiers help trapped civilians to go to safe places as security forces clearing the Soufiya neighborhood of Islamic State fighters in central Ramadi, Iraq, on Thursday. By Ali Kotarumalos and Niniek Karmini The Associated Press JAKARTA, INDONESIA An audacious attack by sui- cide bombers in the heart of Indonesia's capital was funded by the Islamic State group, police said Friday, as they seized an IS flag from the home of one of the attackers and car- ried out raids across the country in which one sus- pected militant was killed. National police chief Gen. Badrodin Haiti told reporters that Thursday's attack was funded by IS through Bahrun Naim, an Indonesian who spent one year in jail for illegal pos- session of weapons in 2011, and is now in Syria fight- ing for the group. Supporters of IS also circulated a claim of re- sponsibility for the attack on Twitter late Thursday. The radical group controls territory in Syria and Iraq, and its ambition to create an Islamic caliphate has attracted some 30,000 for- eign fighters from around the world, including a few hundred Indonesians and Malaysians. The IS link, if proved, poses a challenge to In- donesian security forces. Until now, the group was known only to have sympa- thizers with no active cells capable of planning and carrying out a plot such as Thursday's in which five men attacked a Star- bucks cafe and a traffic po- lice booth with handmade bombs, guns and suicide belts. They killed two peo- ple, one a Canadian and the other an Indonesian, and injured 20 in the first major attack in Indonesia since 2009. The militants were killed, either by their suicide vests or by police. The attack "was funded by ISIS in Syria through Bahrun Naim," Haiti told reporters after Friday prayers. He also identified one of the five attackers as Suna- kim, who in 2010 was sen- tenced to seven years in jail for his involvement in mili- tary-style training in Aceh, but was released early. Police conducted raids across Indonesia but was it unclear whether those arrested were suspected of links to the bombing or if police were rounding up militants as part of a broader crackdown in its aftermath. They also out- lined a partial reconstruc- tion of events based on se- curity camera video, part of which showed a Star- bucks customer escaping from the grip of a bomber before he detonated his suicide bomb. Police did not identify the customer but said he or she suffered minor injuries.
