Kurdish Peshmerga soldiers fight with Islamic State south of Mosul on Tuesday, as part of an offensive involving Iraqi forces and a U.S.-led coalition aimed at liberating the city.
The fight moves outside of Mosul, as Islamic State's media arm releases video purporting to show its militants targeting Kurdish Peshmerga forces near Sinjar, Iraq. Gavino Garay reports.
During a press briefing in Washington DC, on Thursday, US President Barack Obama discussed the positive progress being made against the self-proclaimed Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL).
This little toddler named Bilal Tagirov was just two years old when his father kidnapped him and forced him to travel to Syria in October 2015. Bilal's father Hassan Tagirov left the Chechen Republic in order to fight for the self-proclaimed Islamic State. His mother Zalikha Ashakhanova only found out that her son was located in Mosul by chance when she saw a video of him online on July 15, 2017. The toddler was found by Chechen security forces in Mosul and finally reunited with Zalikha in Grozny on Thursday, returning to her waiting arms.
