QAMISHLI, SYRIA/BEIRUT ¨C Islamic State militants are ¡°living their final moments¡± in the last enclave they hold near the Iraqi border, where U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) are attacking them, an SDF official said on Sunday.

A spokesman for the U.S.-led coalition said the SDF were making ¡°great progress ... but the fight continues.¡±
