Pentagon chief Ashton Carter said on Monday that Washington would deploy 560 additional troops to aid Iraq’s fight to retake Mosul from jihadists, deepening U.S. military involvement in the country.
The announcement, which will bring the total authorised number of American military personnel in Iraq to more than 4,600, came two days after Baghdad said it had recaptured a base south of Mosul.
Iraq’s second city Mosul has been under Islamic State group control since June 2014.
