Amnesty International criticised Nimr’s arrest for being part of a campaign by the Saudi authorities to quash all dissent. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon was “deeply dismayed” by the executions and called again for an end to the death penalty.

Iraqi forces on Friday pushed out of central Ramadi to extend their grip on the city, sweeping neighbourhoods for pockets of jihadists to flush out and trapped civilians to evacuate.

The group has continued to carry out suicide attacks in various locations, including on Friday north of Ramadi and over the weekend near the other main cities of Anbar, Fallujah and Haditha.

The Iraqi government now says its rebuilt army will soon march on Islamic State’s Iraqi strongholds and have vowed to defeat the groups presence in Iraq within 2016.

“We don’t think the enemy has enough combat power in downtown Ramadi to be able to recapture the city”, he said.

Al-Belawi says there were casualties among the government troops, but did not provide a specific figure.

Celebrating last week’s victory by Iraqi government forces over the Islamic State terrorist group still feels a little premature. The strikes also targeted an IS tactical unit and five fight locations near Ramadi. Near Mosul, three airstrikes destroyed an IS fighting position and a facility used to make vehicle bombs, a coalition statement said Saturday.

The details of Britain’s deepening involvement in the conflict emerged as Brigadier James Learmont, a United Kingdom artillery officer and deputy commander of coalition ground forces in Iraq, declared that Isis had been “significantly and seriously weakened” by its defence of Ramadi.
