(man) some things are worth holding onto. they re hugging the tree. (man) that s why we got a subaru.
elaborate system of passages in local tribal leaders say isis is still controlling about a quarter of the city but forces and the u.s.-led coalition have driven them from the center of the city ask during the attacks, the isis militants would disappear. turns out they were hiding in tunnels beneath houses under ground passageways which we re now getting a first look at. reporter: ramadi, after
