ISIS shipping government equipment and offices from Mosul to Syria
[RUDAW.NET] Islamic State...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... (ISIS) holy warriors have started packing equipment from inside government offices in the city of djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... and shipping them across the border into Syria, said a Kurdish official on Sunday. "ISIS is busy transferring all the machines of Nineveh offices outside and wants to move them to Syria," Ismat Rajab, Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) official for Mosul affairs told Rudaw. Rajab said that the holy warriors fear the long-anticipated offensive against their Iraq stronghold. "ISIS wants to transfer all the expensive machines to Syria because they know that the group has no future in Mosul," he added. The group has been under intense attack on many fronts in both Iraq and Syria in the past several weeks, losing many territories to Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and Iraqi and Kurdish Peshmerga. The Iraqi army announced the recapture of Fallujah on Friday after an operation that lasted three weeks and more than two years of siege. "Security forces have recaptured the center of Fallujah city," Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said. Earlier this US officials reported that ISIS had begun moving its commanders and many fighters from Syria and Iraq to Libya as their new base of operations. ISIS seized millions of dollars from Mosul banks after it captured the city in June 2014 and all government offices have since been run by the group. Posted by: Fred 2016-06-20 |
