PARIS: French President Francois Hollande called Tuesday on the US-led coalition backing the offensive against the Islamic State group in Mosul to prepare for the aftermath of the city's fall, including returning jihadists.
"The recapture is not an end in itself. We must already anticipate the consequences of the fall of Mosul," he told a meeting of coalition defence chiefs in Paris, warning notably about the return home of foreign jihadists from the battlefield.
