Sheikh Nazhan Sakhar, second from the right, poses for a picture with his men holding an Islamic State flag they captured in Hajj Ali, Iraq, Tuesday, August 9, 2016. Sheikh Nazhan Sakhar and the 700 men under his command are among the forces preparing to retake the Iraqi city of Mosul from the Islamic state group. He says his Sunni militia is critical to defeating IS and maintaining peace afterward because his fighters, unlike the majority of Iraq's military, are local to Mosul. (AP Photo/Alice Martins)
