The Iraqi army backed by coalition fighter planes has repelled an attack by Islamic State (IS) militants on a base in Iraq’s western Anbar province housing US troops, officials say.
About 300 US military personnel are stationed at the Ain al-Asad airbase, where they are training Iraqi troops. But IS has captured the nearby town of al-Baghdadi, the Pentagon says.
