Baghdad: The Islamic State group's fighters have all left the flashpoint former government compound in the Iraqi city of Ramadi, the spokesman of the elite counter-terrorism service said Sunday.

"All Daesh (IS) fighters have left. There is no resistance," Sabah al-Numan told AFP, adding that the entire perimeter had to be cleared of mines and booby traps before troops could move in.
