Battle for Mosul




101 East reports from the front lines in the fight to take back the city of Mosul from ISIL.



More than two years ago, ISIL forces overran the largest city in northern Iraq, Mosul, shocking the world with the speed and the ferocity of their victory.
It was here that the Islamic State leader announced the formation of his caliphate. Today, the city is an active combat zone, as Iraqi forces fight to take the city back, street by street, in fierce urban warfare.
