MOSUL, Iraq, Shawwal 5, 1438, Jun 29, 2017, SPA -- The terrorist Daesh's "state of falsehood" has come to an end, Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said on Thursday, after Iraqi troops captured the wrecked historic mosque of Mosul in which IS terrorists declared their self-styled caliphate three years ago, Reuters reported. "The return of al-Nuri Mosque and al-Hadba minaret to the fold of the nation marks the end of the Daesh state of falsehood," Abadi said in a statement. He said Iraqi forces would continue to hunt IS terrorist fighters "to kill them and detain them, down to the last one". --SPA 18:00 LOCAL TIME 15:00 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w437752
