In this Wednesday, Feb. 1, 2017 photo, Nineveh police forces train with Spanish coalition members at Basmaya base 40 kilometers southeast of Baghdad, Iraq. The U.S.-led coalition is planning for the day Iraq will be free of the Islamic State group, ramping up the training of a future Mosul police force -- even as the battle for the city is temporarily on hold. The security forces are expected to move into villages of Ninevah province around Mosul and into parts of the city recently retaken from IS. The Iraqi military declared Mosul’s eastern half “fully liberated” in January and is now preparing to battle for the city’s western sector. (AP Photo/Karim Kadim)
