Iraqs Mosul completely freed from Daesh

MOSUL, IRAQ - JULY 9: Great Mosque of al-Nuri and al-Hadba minaret are seen after Mosul completely freed from Daesh in Mosul, Syria on July 9, 2017. Mosul was captured by Daesh along vast swathes of territory in northern and western Iraq in 2014. Earlier Sunday, Iraqi forces battling Daesh militants reached the Tigris riverbanks in the Old City of Mosul. Since October, the Iraqi forces, backed by a U.S.-led air coalition, have been trying to dislodge Daesh from Mosul, the terrorist group's last stronghold in northern Iraq.
