Written by Teunis Felter

Iraqi army forces reported new gains in the campaign against the radical group of Islamic State (ISIS) on Wednesday, recapturing a number of areas and cutting off a main ISIS-held supply route in northern Iraq.  Backed by an air cover from the US-led coalition, the Iraqi troops recaptured several villages in the Sharqat District of the Saladin Governorate, after clashes with ISIS militants.
