PMUs take over last village on Mosul-Tal Afar route, police kill 9 militants
2017-02-21
[Iraq News] al-Hashd al-Shaabi (Popular Mobilization Units) recaptured on Monday the last village on the road between western djinn-infested Mosul
... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn...
and the strategic town of Tal Afar from 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 Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
murderous Moslems.

The force’s media service said it took over the village of Sahaji, effectively cutting out the last road linking IS stronghold of Tal Afar with western Mosul. The outlet said earlier on Monday that 23 Lions of Islam were killed in a PMU bombardment near Tal Afar.

Also on Monday, Federal Police service said in a statement the forces killed nine Islamic State murderous Moslems, defused four explosive barrels and seized 50 projectiles belonging to the group while advancing to al-Bouseif hills.

Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said in a brief announcement on Sunday that security forces launched an operation to retake the western side of Mosul, Islamic State murderous Moslems’ largest stronghold in Iraq which the group took over in 2014. He said on January 24th that government forces, backed by popular militias and U.S.-led coalition troops, had cleared the whole of the eastern region from Lions of Islam after more than three months of fighting.

Recapturing Mosul would represent the strongest blow to Islamic State’s proclaimed "Islamic Caliphate".
