Ramadi is a key Iraqi city that holds a direct route from Syria to Baghdad, and was the capital for ISIS in Iraq prior to the Battle of Ramadi in 2006. From Western Journalism:American-led forces lit up the Iraqi sky like the Fourth of July during attacks on an Islamic State weapons cache in Ramadi, a key city 70 miles west of Baghdad.Video of the attack shows an initial explosion as American jets hit the target, a stadium, then massive secondary explosions as the contents of the weapons ISIS had stored in the stadium ignite and turn the night bright. U.S. Central Command reported that the stadium held “homemade explosives, weapons and ammunition as well as VBIED (Vehicle Borne Improvised Explosive Device) components.”https://youtu.be/Z9VNhz-i7VY?t=1m2s
