Obama: Retaking of Iraqi Dam a 'Major Step Forward'
US President Barack Obama last night said the retaking of the Mosul Dam from IS militants by Kurdish and Iraqi fighters was a "major step forward".
The operation was supported by the US as part of its long-term strategy to bring down the militants, he said.
IS captured the Mosul Dam, the country's largest dam and a centre for water and electricity supplies, two weeks ago.
