Islamic State militants advanced east on Monday from the Iraqi city of Ramadi towards an army base where Shi'ite paramilitaries were massing for a counter-offensive, witnesses and a military officer said.
The Habbaniya base is located around 30 km (20 miles) east of Ramadi along the road to the Iraqi capital Baghdad.
