Fallujah 'fully liberated' from IS, says Iraqi commander

A senior Iraqi commander has declared the city of Fallujah "fully liberated" from Islamic State group militants after a more than month-long military operation.

The head of the counter-terrorism forces in the operation, Lieutenant General Abdul-Wahad al-Saadi, said that on Sunday his troops entered the north-western al-Julan neighbourhood, which was the last area still under IS control.
