Shiite militia says it's taken Mosul-Raqqa road
BAGHDAD -- A spokesman for a leading Shiite militia says its fighters have gained control of a highway linking ISIS-held city of Mosul to the Syrian city of Raqqa, the de facto capital of the militants' self-proclaimed caliphate.
The spokesman for the Hezbollah Brigades, Jaafar al-Husseini, said Wednesday that his troops are now cutting the main supply line to the militants.
