According to a report by Al-Jazeera, the Iraqi government on Sunday announced that its soldiers had taken full control of the city of Mosul from Islamic State with PM Haider al-Abadi declaring victory in their eight-month-old offensive over the militants who captured the city three years ago. Stripped of Mosul, ISIL' dominion in Iraq has now reportedly reduced to rural and desert areas of the country where its 'caliphate' ended last week.
