The Iraqi military says it’s driven Islamic State militants out of more than 90 percent of Tal Afar, a town west of Mosul.
Brig. Gen. Yahya Rasool said Saturday that Iraqi forces have retaken the town center. Iraqi officials often declare areas to be liberated while some fighting continues.
Rasool says the full liberation of the town will be announced by Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi. The U.S.-led coalition is providing air strikes and other support to Iraqi forces.
