TAL AFAR — City leaders here received more than additional office space with the grand opening of a new building at the city’s government center recently.

“This building is a symbol for the people of Tal Afar,” said Mayor Najim Abdullah Abid Al-Jibouri. “With this building, the people of Tal Afar show their insistence on building their city in spite of the hard situation in Iraq and Tal Afar.”

The recently constructed building will house the mayor’s office, along with those of other city officials.
