IS control shrinks to 14% of Iraq: Govt
The Islamic State lost around two-thirds of the territory it controls in Iraq after a US-backed military campaign, and it now controls 14% of the country, the Iraqi government said on Wednesday. "Daesh's (Islamic State) presence in Iraqi cities and provinces has declined. After occupying 40 percent of Iraqi territory, now only 14 percent remains," government spokesman Saad al-Hadithi said.
