Saudi Arabia today hailed the Iraq government's recapture of Mosul city from Islamic State group jihadists, stressing its solidarity with Baghdad in combating "terrorism" despite their rocky relations.

However, there are still small terrorist units in the country, which will be eliminated soon, he told a briefing in Baku held on the occasion of liberation of Mosul from IS. "We remain engaged very sincerely and very seriously at a high level", Baglay said, adding the Iraqi authorities have conveyed to India that they have sensitised their forces about missing Indians.

The top military commander leading the United States fight against ISIS says there is no evidence that its leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is alive, Politico reported.

Numerous countries, including Azerbaijan have supported Iraq in the fight against terrorism, Iraq's Charge D'affaires to Azerbaijan Fadhil Awad Al Shuwaili said on Friday.

MOSUL: Iraqi police displayed 23 vehicles that had been turned into auto bombs and also an anti-aircraft gun, all captured from Daesh militants during the battle for the city of Mosul. Air support is provided by the aviation of the worldwide counter-terrorism coalition led by the United States and the government air forces of the republic.

Iraq declared victory in Mosul this week after a almost nine-month battle that ravaged the city and took a heavy toll on residents and security forces. The victory marks the beginning of a long work on rebuilding the city.
