The operation, codenamed Quick Strike, started on Wednesday with Iraqi forces and U.S. Marines positioning their units, said a military statement.

They focused in the area around the cities of Haditha, Haqlaniyah, and Parwana, about 130 miles northwest of Baghdad.

The operation appears to be a response to Wednesday's deadly attack near Haditha, where 14 U.S. Marines were killed.
