Iraqi command to target Tal Afar after Mosul, officials say 750 fighters remain in city
Nineveh (IraqiNews.com) The Iraqi command leading the war against 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.... Death Eaters in djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... will aim at the town of Tal Afar as a next stage, while officials say 750 fighters remain in the city. Maj. Gen. Najm al-Jubouri, a top commander of Mosul operations, told state-run paper al-Sabah on Thursday that Iraqi troops’ next target after Mosul will be the town of Tal Afar, an Islamic State stronghold near the Syrian borders. "The army will join forces with al-Hashd al-Shaabi (Popular Mobilization Units) to liberate what is left of the province, especially Tal Afar, the main haven for ISIS (Islamic State) leaders," Jubouri told the newspaper. He also pointed to ongoing operations to retake Qairawan, Baaj and Adnaniya, all near Tal Afar. Posted by: trailing wife 2017-05-19 |
