Iraqi security forces are set to declare victory in Mosul within 'a matter of hours' with local media reporting that Islamic State has been all but forced out of the city.

A huge onslaught has seen the jihadists' last bastion in the city fall, state TV has reported, following air strikes and artillery salvoes.

The country's state broadcaster said: 'We are seeing now the last metres (of the battle) and then victory will be announced. It's a matter of hours.'

Here's an instance where "kill them... kill them all!" is actually a reasonable and rational response...
