Iraqi forces recapture 85% of Mosul's key district


 Iraqi forces battling Daesh in Mosul have made major headway as they try to dislodge the Takfiri terror group from the northern city.
A commander of Iraq’s Federal Police has announced that 85-Percent of Zanjili district has been recaptured from Daesh. The paramilitary force is approaching the outskirts of the old city from the north. On Friday, the elite counter-terrorism service announced the recapture of another key district in the same region. Territory held by Daesh has shrunk to just two districts in Mosul. The Takfiri group maintains a presence in Medical City district and the densely populated Old City, where Baghdad is advancing on from different directions.
