Snipers and bombers slow Iraqi advance in Mosul
2017-05-29
[ArabNews] BAGHDAD: The advance of government troops slowed on Sunday in the last push to drive Daesh terrorists from remaining pockets of Mosul, two Iraqi military officers said.

On Saturday, US-backed Iraqi forces began a new offensive to recapture the Old City from three directions.

Hours after announcing the push, the government said two military officers were killed in clashes in the Shafaa neighborhood on the Tigris River.

#1  Keep the snipers awake at night with supersonic overflights every hour. Driving tanks through the streets, playing recordings of gunfire and the Barney the Evil Purple Dinosaurs theme song, and maybe even the faint sound of a drone or ten overhead. They'll give up in three days max.
