Violent clashes between Peshmerga forces and ISIS elements in Nineveh
2015-01-23
[Iraq News] On Thursday, according to a local source in Nineveh, violent festivities broke out between the Kurdish Peshmerga forces and elements of the ISIS organization who set tyres on fire to block pilots' vision north of djinn-infested Mosul
... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn...

The source said in an interview for IraqiNews.com,"Violent festivities broke out between the Kurdish Peshmerga forces and elements of ISIS in al-Quosiyat area north of Mosul, after the Peshmerga had advanced into the region," adding that, "The fighting is still ongoing, and the international coalition aircrafts are flying intensely over Mosul and its outskirts, forming an aerial umbrella to protect the joint forces in the north and south of Mosul."

The source, who requested anonymity, added, "The ISIS elements burned tyres in different parts of central Mosul and areas experiencing the military operations, to block the coalition pilots' vision and conceal the movements of its vehicles."

#2  At the 5 minute mark of this 11 minute video you will see an ISIS armored vehicle attack blown apart. Then you will see the Kurds destroy the ISIS armored vehicle that moved in to rescue two wounded from the first vehicle.

It appears they are using guided missiles provided by the Germans.
