BAGHDAD: Iraqi officials voiced fears Wednesday that jihadis will use their seizure of a dam in Ramadi to mount fresh attacks on pro-government forces preparing to try to retake the city. A string of advances last month by ISIS cast doubt on the strategy of the U.S.-led coalition battling the jihadis, but Washington has insisted it is on the right track.
