A member of the Iraqi forces carries two grenades carrying feathers, which are to be fired from a drone in the fight against Islamic State (IS) group jihadists in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul on March 14, 2017. IS have used small drones to drop explosives on advancing Iraqi forces since they launched the battle to retake the whole of Iraq's second city in October. But now, Iraqi forces have adopted the terrifying tactic, equipping their own remote-controlled devices with 40-mm grenades. (Photo by Aris Messinis/AFP Photo)

Iraqi civilians flee through the destroyed train station during fighting between Iraqi security forces and Islamic State militants, on the western side of Mosul, Iraq, Sunday, March 19, 2017. The battle for western Mosul, including the narrow alleyways of the old city, looks to be the most devastating yet for Iraqi civilians trapped between advancing troops and increasingly desperate Islamic State militants. An estimated 750 civilians have been killed or wounded since the push to retake the western half of the city began in late January, and more than 100,000 have fled. (Photo by Felipe Dana/AP Photo)
