Iraqi soldiers take part in an intensive security deployment in Ramadi, 100 km (62 miles) west of Baghdad January 24, 2014. Al Qaeda militants and their local allies seized control of Falluja and parts of Ramadi on January 1, exploiting resentment among minority Sunnis against the government for policies perceived as unfairly penalising their once-dominant community.
