Iraqi forces have dislodged Daesh from 70 percent of Tal Afar, a stronghold of the terrorists in northwestern Iraq, Foreign Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari said on Saturday.
"God willing the remaining part will be liberated soon," Jaafari said at a news conference with his French counterpart, Jean-Yves Le Drian, and French Defence Minister Florence Parly, in Baghdad.
The offensive on Tal Afar, which lies on the supply route between Syria and the former Daesh stronghold of Mosul, started on Aug. 20.
