South of Mosul, French guns back up Iraqi forces

Description

On a dusty plain south of Mosul, French artillery guns fire in support of Iraqi troops fighting to retake the city from the Islamic State group. The French operation -- dubbed "Task Force Wagram" -- is part of crucial backing provided by a US-led coalition to the Mosul offensive launched just over two weeks ago.
