Iraqi forces engage ISIS terrorists in fierce confrontation near Mosul -- video
2019-12-17
[ALMASDARNEWS] Iraq’s Hashd al-Sha’abi (Popular Mobilization Units) forces are currently engaged in a fierce battle with the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really 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 western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
 (ISIS/ISIS/IS/ISIS) near the city of djinn-infested Mosul
... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn...
 in the Ninawa (Nineveh) Governorate.

According to the official media wing of Hashd al-Sha’abi, their forces engaged an Islamic State terrorist contingent after the latter was caught trying to sneak through the al-Khodor Desert south of Mosul.

In a short video released from their official Twitter account, Hashd al-Sha’abi can be seen taking on the Islamic State fighters this evening
