The US-led coalition against ISIL could be at fault for failing to limit civilian deaths in Iraq, according to a new report from Amnesty International.

Distruzione e rinascita. L'antica città assira di Mosul risorge dai tunnel scavati proprio da quei miliziani dell'Isis che avevano distrutto a colpi di martello una parte dei tesori del museo archeologico.  

As fighting goes on between ISIL militants and Iraqi soldiers in the city of Mosul, many people in eastern districts recaptured by government forces are attempting to return to some kind of normal daily life.

On the third day of the renewed Iraqi offensive to retake Mosul from ISIL militants, scores of civilians have left their homes for safety.

Iraqi forces continue to pound ISIL positions in the city of Mosul, the last militant stronghold in the Iraq.

The group calling itself Islamic State said it was behind three suicide bombings that killed at least 23 people and wounded dozens more outside the Iraqi city of Mosul on Thursday.

Kurdish peshmerga forces attacked an Islamic State-held town northeast of Mosul on Monday, trying to clear a pocket of militants outside the city while Iraqi troops wage a fierce urban war with the jihadists in its eastern neighbourhoods.

Mosul in Iraq is seeing the most intensive fighting yet since the offensive to retake the city from ISIL militants began more than two weeks ago.

Apoyado por la aviación de la coalición internacional liderada por Estados Unidos, el Ejército iraquí prosigue su avance en el interior de la ciudad, donde está encontrando una fuerte resistencia por parte de los yihadistas.
