Jihadists took staff and students hostage on Saturday at a university campus in the Iraq city of #Ramadi, where security forces have been battling rebels for months, police said. The militants of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria infiltrated the university from the nearby Al-Tasha area, killed its guards, and blew up the bridge leading to its main gate, police said. The attack is the third major operation by militants in three days, following heavy fighting and suicide bombings in northern Iraq on Friday and a major assault on the city of Samarra on Thursday. read more
