are killed when isis uses homemade bombs. 100 miles away iraqi forces are on the doorstep of what could be a major victory as they make progress taking back tikrit. you won t see residents celebrating that victory. very few people are actually in that city any longer. ben wedeman explains from outside tikrit. reporter: this is what victory looks like in the war against isis. iraqi police soldiers and pair a militaries flash the sign but there is no fanfare for the victors in the newly conquered town of adur outside tikrit. a drive through adur passing through isis s logos painted on the walls is an eerie experience. isis has been driven out of this town and probably will soon be driven out of tikrit but what they leave behind are ghost towns. almost all of the local inhabitants have left.
