Ar Ramadi)
Ramădī (الرمادي) is a city in central Iraq, about 100 kilometers west of Baghdad. British General Maude's forces fought there in November of 1917. It is the capital of Al Anbar province.
Ramadi is considered to be the southwest point of Iraq's Sunni Triangle. It has been a focal point of resistance to the U.S. occupation of Iraq.
On April 6, 2004, at least 12 U.S. Marines were killed by guerilla forces in Ramadi, in an apparent effort to relieve the ongoing siege of nearby Fallujah.
