A mortar thrown by ISIS fighters lands near a vehicle belonging to Iraq's elite Rapid Response Division during the assault to retake the northern city of Mosul, as Iraqi forces continue the offensive to retake the city's western half on February 25, 2017. The west bank of Mosul is where Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi made his only public appearance as ISIS leader in July of 2014 and proclaimed a "caliphate", which at its greatest extent controlled a third of Iraq, but after more than two years of a government fightback it has become the last major jihadist bastion in the country.: photo by Aris Messinis/AFP, 25 February 2017
