The Counter-Terrorism Service (CTS) forces liberated the neighborhood of al-Qal'a and its old Tal Afar Citadel, which is a ruined Ottoman fortress,
located in the center of the city and raised the Iraqi flags over some of the
buildings, Lt. Gen. Abdul-Amir Yarallah from the Joint Operations Command (JOC)
said in a statement.
The CTS forces also freed the orchards area in southern Tal Afar, the statement said.
The army's 9th Armored Division and the paramilitary Hashd Shaabi units recaptured al-Urouba al-Thaniyah neighborhood and nearby Bowari area and raised
the Iraqi flag over the area, Yarallah said.
The soldiers and the paramilitary fighters also freed the neighborhoods of al-Salam and Hassan Kowi in central the city, Yarallah added.
In a separate statement, the troops freed eight villages and Sheikh Ibrahim mountain and the nearby Zambar mountain range in southeast of Tal Afar.
Earlier in the day, Yarallah said that the troops liberated three more neighborhoods from IS militants.
The latest advance of the security forces brought the number of neighborhoods liberated from IS group in Tal Afar to 24 neighborhoods out of 28, while the
troops still have to liberate several neighborhoods in the northern part of Tal
Afar and the town of Ayadhiyah, some 11 km north of Tal Afar and the surrounding
villages.
On Aug. 20, Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, also the commander-in-chief of Iraqi forces, declared the start of an operation to retake control of Tal
Afar and nearby areas from IS militants.
Tal Afar, some 70 km west of Mosul, is the last IS redoubt in the province of Nineveh.
The United Nation's International Organization for Migration estimates that some 10,000 to 40,000 people are still living in Tal Afar and surrounding areas.
Earlier, the army's Maj. Gen. Najim al-Jubouri, commander of Nineveh's Operations Command, told reporters that he estimated there were between 1,500
and 2,000 IS militants left in Tal Afar.

MAPUTO, Nov. 4 (Xinhua) -- The Mozambican national soccer team, the Mambas, is to take on Gabon on Wednesday next week in the capital, Maputo, in the first
leg of the second round of playoffs for World Cup tournament to be held in
Russia in 2018.
It will be a do-or-die encounter for Mozambique, which was beaten by Zambia last week for the qualification to the 2016 African Nations Championship (CHAN
2016) in Rwanda.
This failure led to the sacking of the Mozambican coach for the Mambas, Mano Mano, who was replaced by a Croatian Boris Pusic.
Pusic was contracted by the Mozambican Football Federation (FMF) only to prepare the Mozambican national team for the Wednesday game to be played at the
Zimpeto national stadium, on the outskirts of Maputo.
According to local media, the national team is starting training on Wednesday at the Liga Desportiva stadium on the outskirts of Maputo province.?
Pusic is to work with local players only, before those who play abroad will arrive in the Mozambican capital soon.
Those who are playing abroad are expected in Maputo on Sunday and Monday, because they have games this coming weekend.?
They are Dominguez, Bidvest Wits, Mexer, Rennes, Zainadine Júnior, who play for the Nacional of Madeira in Portugal, while Clesio plays his first game for
Benfica of Portugal as well.
The referee for the Mozambique and Gabon encounter, whose name was not mentioned, will be coming from the Seychelles. The game will take place in the
evening at 19pm local time, according to the secretary general of the FMF,
Filipe Johane.??
