Iraqi PM: Eastern Mosul is 'fully liberated'
BAGHDAD -- Iraq's prime minister is declaring the eastern part of Mosul "fully liberated" from Islamic State group militants more than three months after the massive U.S.-backed operation began.
In his weekly news conference on Tuesday, Haider al-Abadi hailed the "unmatched heroism of all security forces factions" and the public support for the operation.
