| [Iran Press TV] Iraq's pro-government Popular Mobilization Units have managed to take control of new strategic areas near djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... , the last urban stronghold of the Takfiri ...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who must be killed... ISIS faceless myrmidons in the Arab country, amid attempts by the terrorist group to reorganize itself elsewhere. The Iraqi volunteer forces, commonly known by the Arabic name Hashd al-Sha'abi, said on Friday that they had captured the road linking the towns of Sinjar and al-Ba’aj, located west of the recently liberated district of Qairawan, which lies to the west of Mosul. According to al-Sumaria news website, the popular forces had also captured the villages of Biski, al-Hatemia, Qabusia and Rambus Gharbia. Domiz residential complex and Sinjar military base, located to the west of Mosul, were also liberated from the control of the ISIS terrorists. The advances come as Iraqi army soldiers and pro-government popular fighters are engaged in a large-scale military operation to completely liberate Mosul. The Iraqi forces took control of eastern Mosul in January after 100 days of fighting, and launched the battle in the west on February 19. US hampering Mosul liberation operation A senior commander of Hashd al-Sha’abi slammed the so-called US-led coalition purportedly fighting ISIS, saying it was hindering efforts to liberate Mosul. Hadi al-Ameri said the coalition provided very little assistance to the Iraqi troops. The United States and some of its allies have been carrying out ISIS moves from Mosul to Hawijah As ISIS loses its grip on Mosul, reports say the terrorist group is trying to reorganize itself in another Iraqi city. Anwar al-Assi, the supervisor of Hawijah liberation force, said on Friday that ISIS had transferred its headquarters from Mosul to the city of Hawijah in the southwestern province of Kirkuk. He said senior commanders of ISIS had chosen the city and the areas of al-Rab, al-Riad, al-Abbasi and al-Rashad following their defeat in Mosul. Assi said about 400 faceless myrmidons had been relocated to the city, some of them via the Tigris River, on Thursday. He added that the faceless myrmidons were transferred with their eyes covered in order to keep them from learning the route. Assi said ISIS had mobilized its faceless myrmidons to attack Hamrin Mountains and Alas and Ajil oil fields as well as the areas bordering Tuz and Amerli. Meanwhile, ...back at the shootout, another bullet hole appeared in Butch's hat...... Kirkuk Governor Najmaldin Karim warned that Hawijah would turn into the de facto capital of ISIS in the absence of security forces. According to Iraqi sources, Hawijah and its surrounding areas have been under the control of ISIS since summer 2014. |
