Islamic State jams mobiles in Mosul
2014-11-28
[ARABNEWS] Residents in the militant-held Iraqi city of Mosul say militants with the Islamic State group have blocked all mobile phone networks in the town.

Several residents said the move is to prevent residents from revealing the location of militants in town to US coalition forces conducting airstrikes in the area. The militants informed residents of their decision via their Mosul-based radio network Wednesday. All residents spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisal.

Some are still able to access the Internet, which operates under a different network.

#1  Interesting new twist to modern warfare. I would think that the dumbest guy in ISIS is the guy assigned to man the jamming station. His life-expectancy could probably be its estimated in hours.
