Nineveh-Erbil bridge damaged in ISIS war reopens after repairs |
2019-12-14 |
[Rudaw] A strategic bridge over the Great Zab River, linking Iraq’s Nineveh province to the Kurdistan Region province of Erbil, was reopened this week, five years after it was badly damaged in fighting 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 Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... group (ISIS). The bridge, situated in the disputed town of Gwer, sustained serious structural damage in the early stages of the war in 2014. Although further repairs are needed, it is now thought to be stable enough to withstand road traffic. |
