Ramadi



Ramădī (الرمادي) is a city in central Iraq, about 100 kilometers west of Baghdad. It is the capital of Al Anbar province. During World War I British Empire forces under Frederick Stanley Maude fought there in November of 1917. Ramadi is considered to be the southwest point of Iraq's Sunni Triangle. It has been a focal point of resistance to the U.S. occupation of Iraq. On April 6, 2004, at least 12 U.S. Marines were killed by guerilla forces in Ramadi, in an apparent effort to relieve the ongoing siege of nearby Fallujah. ==See also== * List of places in Iraq Cities along the Silk Road Cities and towns in Iraq
