The retrieved bodies were said to be for IS militants, their family members or the civilians prevented by IS militants from leaving homes during the fierce battles and heavy bombardment of the city, according to the defense police.
In July 2017, Abadi officially declared the liberation of Mosul, the second largest city in Iraq, from the IS after nearly nine months of fierce fighting to dislodge the extremist militants from their last major stronghold in the country.
A large part of Iraq's northern province of Nineveh, including its capital Mosul, fell under the IS control in June 2017, when government forces abandoned their weapons and fled, enabling IS militants to take control of parts of Iraq's northern and western regions.
