Disagreements over a massive refugee influx and other issues could bring more uncertainty to the continent's financial sector in 2016.

The provincial capital west of Baghdad is the first retaken by Iraq’s army since it was lost to militants 18 months ago.

German officials received information that militants from Iraq and Syria were planning suicide attacks in the city, Munich police chief Hubertus Andrae said Friday.

Workers were on-call 24 hours a day in mock villages with no running water or electricity, according to the lawsuit.

Prime Minister Haider Al-Abadi was not injured, but his associates had to briefly evacuate the city, which was under ISIS’ control until recently.

The embassy encouraged Americans to exercise caution around New Year’s as local police announced they had arrested seven individuals with suspected links to ISIS.

Victory in Ramadi, which was seized by ISIS in May, is the first major triumph for Iraq's U.S.-trained army in 18 months.

"The West, first of all the United States, has made this monster bigger by their wars," opposition member Sahra Wagenknecht said.

The incident highlights an increasingly brutal conflict as ISIS, which now controls huge swathes in Iraq and Syria, attempts to make inroads in Afghanistan.
