Iraqi forces see off ISIS counter-attack in Mosul
None
MOSUL -- Iraqi forces saw off a nighttime Islamic State counter-attack near Mosul's main government building hours after recapturing it, a military official said on Wednesday, as troops sought to push the militants further back.
The Islamic State fighters had used several car bombs in the assault, Major General Ali Kadhem al-Lami of the Federal Police's Fifth Division told a Reuters correspondent near the site.
"Today we're clearing the area, which was liberated," he said.
