BAGHDAD — Iraqi forces repelled a fierce counterattack by Islamic State militants inside Fallujah on Tuesday, as government troops continued a slow advance to recapture the key city."The terrorists are counting on snipers and suicide car bombs and suicide attackers with vests but that won't hinder our advance," said Yahiya Rasul, spokesman for the Joint Operation Command, adding that the Islamic State "is mining the town, and throwing car bombs. We are managing to deal with these."
