This selfie provided to AFP on August 18, 2016 shows “Mike” aka Peshmerganor, a Norwegian former soldier who is volunteering to help peshmerga forces fight the Islamic State group north of Mosul in and around Telskuf, Iraq. “Mike” requested anonymity for security reasons. Increasing numbers of Westerners – many of them military veterans – appear to be trying to join the fight against the Islamic State group in Iraq before it's too late, front-line volunteer warriors say.
