Iraq claims to have liberated Mosul from IS

Mosul: Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi arrived in Mosul on Sunday and congratulated the armed forces for liberating the city and on their victory over the Islamic State after 266 days of battle. IS held the city for three years. Liberating Mosul from the IS occupation is a great victory for Iraq's anti-terror war, but the war-torn country will face grave challenges of national reconstruction and reconciliation. It was in Mosul that IS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi declared in 2014 the establishment of the Islamic State, a caliphate in Iraq and Syria.
