"The group has used a large amount of explosives to bomb Mosul airport on Tuesday afternoon. ISIS tries to fortify the strategic city against any possible attacks by Iraqi forces," a local media activist told ARA News on phone.

"After evacuating the Rafidain and Baghdadi military bases in Tel Afar, ISIS bombed the bases completely," the source added.
