Iraq sees end to 'caliphate' as Mosul mosque recaptured
Iraq declared the Islamic State group's "caliphate" was coming to an end after it recaptured Mosul's iconic Nuri mosque Thursday, three years to the day after it was proclaimed by the jihadists. The jihadist group announced its self-styled "caliphate" on June 29, 2014 across swathes of territory its fighters overran in Iraq and neighbouring Syria. "Counter-Terrorism Service forces control the Nuri mosque and Al-Hadba (minaret)," Iraq's Joint Operations Command said in a statement.

By Tom Perry BEIRUT (Reuters) - The U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces warned on Thursday of the prospect of fierce confrontation with the Turkish army in northwestern Syria if it attacks SDF areas, and said this would undermine the assault on Islamic State at Raqqa. Naser Haj Mansour, a senior SDF official, told Reuters the SDF had taken a decision to confront Turkish forces "if they try to go beyond the known lines" in the areas near Aleppo where the sides exchanged fire on Wednesday. "Certainly there is a big possibility of open and fierce confrontations in this area, particularly given that the SDF is equipped and prepared," he said.
