| 2017-05-17 |
| [Al Ahram] Iraqi forces have recaptured nearly 90 percent of west djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... from the 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.... (IS) murderous Moslem group and other Islamist forces of Evil in the city are on the "brink of total defeat", officers said Tuesday. Iraqi forces launched the massive operation to retake Mosul from IS nearly seven months ago, fighting their way to the city held by Islamist murderous Moslems, retaking its eastern side and then attacking the west. Brigadier General Yahya Rasool, front man for Iraq's Joint Operations Command, told a news conference in Baghdad that IS now controls just over 10 percent of west Mosul. Both Staff Lieutenant General Abdulwahab al-Saadi, a senior Iraqi special forces commander, and Colonel John Dorrian, the front man for the US-led international coalition against IS, said that the end was near for Islamist forces of Evil in the city. "They have two options: die and go to hell or raise the white flag. They have no third option," Saadi told AFP at his headquarters in Mosul. "The enemy is completely surrounded," Dorrian told the news conference in Baghdad. "The enemy is on the brink of total defeat in Mosul." The drive to retake Mosul has been supported by a campaign of coalition air strikes in and around the city. Dorrian said that coalition strikes have destroyed more than 300 explosives-rigged vehicles in Mosul, as well as over 200 IS tunnels and more than a thousand Islamist murderous Moslem fighting positions. |
