US troops at front lines in new advance at ISIS-held Mosul
Iraq-led offensive to reclaim Mosul from Islamic State will see the deployment of US troops closer to the city's front lines in its next phase, US military has said. This comes after Iraqi soldiers retook a quarter of Mosul, ISIS' last major stronghold and capital in Iraq. Earlier, Iraq's PM Haider al-Abadi said Mosul would be liberated in 2016.
