Civilian hostages, booby-traps slow down west Anbar liberation from ISIS
[ALMASDARNEWS] Abdul-Karim Mahmoud, mayor of the town of Annah, said the clearing of western Anbar from ISIS turbans had been delayed due to bombs and landmines planted by the group at the entrances of Annah, as well as the existence of hundreds of civilian families at residential areas, IraqiNews reported."Annah is home to several families that migrated from western Anbar and Ramadi when they were still under 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.... control," the official said, pointing out shortages in food and medical supplies due to IS control over the town for three years. Security sources in Anbar said three days ago that the recently-launched military operations, backed by tribal militias, had stopped until security troops consummate the liberation of djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... , ISIS' largest stronghold in Iraq that has been witnessing a more remarkable operation since October to drive out IS bully boys, the report continued.
