The UN said Tuesday it has delivered food supplies to more than 30,000 residents of Qayyarah for the first time in two years after Iraqi forces expelled jihadists from the northern town.
Iraqi forces on Thursday pushed the Islamic State group from Qayyarah, a northern town considered strategic for any future offensive against the jihadists' last stronghold of Mosul.
An attack killed an Iraqi journalist and wounded two others on Wednesday in the Qayyarah area to the north of Baghdad, a journalist and an official said.
