Iraqi forces make slow progress south of Mosul

ERBIL, Iraq, Mar 25 (Reuters) Iraqi forces made slow progress against Islamic State in the north of the country today in the second day of an offensive touted as the beginning of a broader campaign to clear areas around the city of Mosul.
Backed by Kurdish forces and a US-led coalition, Iraqi forces launched the assault at dawn on Thursday, recapturing three villages in the Makhmour area south of Mosul, according to peshmerga commander Najat Ali and an Iraqi army source.
The Iraqi army source, who is taking part in the offensive, said troops were preparing to attack another village today but were being held up because the militants had rigged streets and buildings with explosives.
