Troops control 30% of last IS-held district near Mosul’s Old City
[Iraq News] Iraqi government forces on Friday took control over 30 percent of the last district held by 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 near western djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... ’s Old City, the Federal Police chief said. Lt. Gen. Shaker Jawdat said his troops took over 30 percent of al-Shifa district, north of the Old City. He said Islamic State members are currently entrenching inside booby-trapped alleyways and shoots at the forces from afar, and dozens were killed as police artillery and rocket launchers continue to bombard their locations in al-Shifa and Bab al-Toub areas. Jawdat said the forces also continued to evacuate dozens of civilians from the battlefield. Posted by: Fred 2017-06-17 |
