The prime minister Haider al-Abadi said the army would then move to retaken the northern city of Mosul and that would be the biggest prize.

Witnesses say it took the tornadoes just seconds to cause devastation14 including flattening15 houses, toppling trees and causing massive power cuts. A young child was among those killed.
