Iraqi forces capture second of 5 bridges in ISIS-held Mosul
US-backed Iraqi forces have reportedly captured the second of the five bridges leading to the old city of Mosul where the ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi proclaimed the creation of a caliphate in July 2014. The troops are advancing towards the western part of Mosul after recapturing the eastern side in January. Notably, Mosul is ISIS' last stronghold in Iraq.
