Iraqi army advances in the reconquista of Al-Bagdhadi

A source of the Iraqi forces indicated that the first wave of the operation resulted in the deaths of nearly three dozen "jihadists" and that the army recovered the police headquarters in the city centre.

Last week, an official of the u.s. military command in the Middle East said that, in the spring, Iraqi forces will be able to turn to the reconquest of Mosul, the country's second largest city, from which the leader of the extremists proclaimed a "caliphate" in the territories conquered by "jihadists in Iraq and Syria.

This Monday, the fighters aboard the French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle began to participate in the operations of the international coalition against the Islamic State.
