BAGHDAD, Oct 29, (APP/AFP) – Iraqi paramilitaries launched an operation Saturday to retake the town of Tal Afar from the Islamic State group and cut militants supply lines from Mosul to Syria, a spokesman said. Forces from the Hashed al-Shaabi, a paramilitary umbrella organisation dominated by Shiite militias, have largely been on the sidelines since the operation to retake Mosul from the Islamic State group was launched last week.
