Iraqi, Coalition Forces Repel Islamic State Counterattack in Ramadi
Iraqi security forces inspect confiscated weapons that belonged to the Islamic State group fighters in Ramadi, Iraq, on December 10, 2015.
The remarks came after more than 140 Boston College students have been diagnosed with norovirus after eating in Chipotle restaurants.

Mr Dawood said that, over the past month, security forces in the district had sustained 365 casualties, both dead and injured. Carter said the attack served as a “painful reminder of the dangers our troops face everyday in Afghanistan”.
“The restaurant is closed and it will likely remain closed for a couple of days while we do a full sanitization on the restaurant, and while all employees of that restaurant are tested for norovirus”, he added.
Pentagon chief offers more U.S. firepower to help Iraq fight Islamic State
On Wednesday, Islamic State militants launched an attack on Camp Bashiqa, killing seven Kurds and injuring some Turkish troops. The United States is eager to do more to do more to accelerate the war against ISIS in Iraq, Carter told Obeidi.
The Chipotle outlet said they will carry out full norovirus sanitization in their restaurant, and employees of the outlet cannot return to work until they have been tested and cleared with norovirus.
“We do not have any evidence to suggest that this incident is related the previous E. coli incident”, Chipotle spokesman Chris Arnold said, referring to an E. coli outbreak linked to its restaurants that has spread to nine states.
This is really great news for people who eat at Chipotle. Lauer points out that the company still hasn’t been able to pinpoint the exact cause of the E. coli outbreak, saying, “If you can’t identify the source, how do you go about eliminating it in the future?” Knight said some ill individuals may have caught the highly infectious disease from classmates. They’re down almost 24 percent since October 13, when news of E. coli outbreak first emerged.
The college’s spokesman also said on Thursday that the Mass. Department of Public Health has informed the college that there are no other pathogens present in the students tested so far.
Sadly for Chipotle fans out there, last month the food chain had to close 43 restaurants in OR and Washington State after health authorities linked an E. coli outbreak to six restaurants in the region. In August of this year, cases of norovirus and salmonella infections were reported in Chipotle branches in California and Minnesota. “It has caused us to put into place practices… that will put us 10 to 15 years ahead of the industry norm”.
Steven Ells, a CEO of Chipotle Mexican Grill, issued a much more honest apology to customers that fell ill in Boston, as reported in Today.
