Shaves at barber's, corpses in streets as Islamic State retreats in Mosul

By Stephen Kalin MOSUL, Iraq (Reuters) - The only shop to open so far after the army fought its way into the Intisar district of eastern Mosul is Ali Bashar's barbershop. Inside, men were lining up to shave off the long beards they had been forced to wear under Islamic State. A few blocks away, four bodies of Islamic State fighters lay on the road, covered with blankets and swarming with flies.
