Iraqi troops mopping up in Mosul after key victories over IS

Iraqi troops are clearing up a key neighbourhood in Mosul after making significant gains against Islamic State militants in the city and the prime minister declared an end to the extremist group's self-proclaimed caliphate.

Lieutenant General Abdul Wahab al-Saadi and Lieutenant Colonel Salam Hussein said their forces were continuing to clear territory in the Old City after retaking the symbolic al-Nuri Mosque on Thursday.
