In this photo taken on March 22, 2014, Iraq's Special Weapons and Tactics Team (SWAT) ride in a helicopter on their way to take a vacation after two months of fighting with al-Qaida militants in Ramadi, 70 miles (115 kilometers) west of Baghdad, Iraq. Iraqi military officials are warning that efforts to clear militants from Fallujah and parts of nearby Ramadi are proving much more difficult than they anticipated when the jihadists showed up three months ago. That realization, as they acknowledged during a recent tour of special forces operations, casts doubt on Iraq's ability to hold elections in Fallujah next month. (AP Photo/Qassim Abdul-Zahra)
