Smoke rises from Islamic State positions at the front line as Iraqi government forces fight the extremist group for Fallujah on Saturday. “When the Iraqi forces enter the city, the equation will be different.”Thomas Gibbons-Neff contributed to this report. “They felt they were not welcome with the government.”One such man may be Rafie al-Jumaili, an Islamic State commander from Fallujah. In early 2014, Fallujah became the first Iraqi city to fall to the Islamic State. U.S. troops will not be taking part in combat operations in Fallujah, officials say.
