PHOTOS: Inside Fallujah after Islamic State

Iraq recaptured the city of Fallujah from Islamic State fighters after a month of fighting recently. Iraqi forces raised the national flag over the government compound in Fallujah, declaring they had the control of the city.

The devastation caused by the IS forces is extensive. There are bombed out buildings, crushed cars and missiles that were being lined up to be used inside a school.
