New military video shows the latest advancements against Islamic State in Iraq. The army is opening a second front, as it prepares for an assault on the militants' de facto Iraqi capital of Mosul. Officials say they plan to take Qayara first as they push north. Troops are also advancing into the Naser district. Officials say they captured the area in under three hours. The government hopes to use this momentum and retake Mosul this year, though many question whether the army will be ready in time.
