Mosul clearance continues: 17 turbans tied up, another mass grave dug up


17 Islamic State members apprehended in Mosul city

Nineveh (IraqiNews.com) – Iraqi security forces on Monday arrested 17 members of Islamic State in different parts of the terrorist group’s previously proclaimed capital Mosul.

“Acting upon intelligence reports, Nineveh police arrested 17 IS members, who are wanted by Iraqi judiciary on terror charges,” Baghdad Today website quoted spokesman for the Iraqi Interior Ministry Maj. Gen. Saad Maan as saying.

Four of the arrestees are facing charges of forcibly seizing houses of security forces and Christians during the group’s capture of Mosul city in 2014, the spokesman said, adding that the arrests were made in al-Intisar, al-Mithaq, al-Quds and al-Teseen districts in Mosul’s eastern side.

38 Islamic State fighters found dead in mass grave in Mosul

Nineveh (IraqiNews.com) – An Iraqi military force discovered on Monday a mass grave containing bodies of Islamic State militants in western Mosul, security sources told Al Ekhbariya TV channel.

“Not less that 34 Islamic State fighters were found dead inside a mass grave in Al-Aiadiya district in western Mosul,” the sources said.

They are believed to be murdered by IS leaders after they rejected to fight against security forces during a military operation for the liberation of Tel Afar district in Nineveh, the sources noted.

Security troops ran into tens of mass graves at regions recaptured from IS. More than 70 graves, including Yazidis killed by IS, were also found.
