FILE - In this undated file photo released by a militant website, which has been verified and is consistent with other AP reporting, militants of the Islamic State group hold up their weapons and wave flags on their vehicles, in a convoy on a road leading to Iraq, from Raqqa, Syria. A major battle to liberate the northern Syrian city of Raqqa from Islamic State militants is looming, with U.S. officials looking to build on momentum from the battlefields in Mosul. Armed with a new Pentagon plan to “rapidly defeat” the militants in both countries, President Donald Trump is now mulling options for upping the fight, which a top U.S. commander says he expects to be concluded within six months.
