The library of the University of
Mosul was one of many that was destroyed, now just a broken shell of its former glory as a product of war.
A report published by Qatari al-Sharq newspaper revealed that 150 Saudi intelligence agents were fighting alongside ISIL members in
Mosul, and working hard to extend the battle, Al Manar reported.
Mosul [Iraq], July 11 ( ANI ): Iraq's Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi has announced that the war-torn city of
Mosul has been completely liberated from the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) terrorist group.
It was at
Mosul's al-Nouri Mosque, in the Old City, that Abu Bakr al-Bahghdadi proclaimed his dreadful caliphate in 2014.
This shows that
Mosul is very important to the group, very important for its project, and it means that ISIS (Islamic State in Iraq and Syria) is going to stand and fight.
A military statement said the army's ninth armoured division took the village of Ali Rash, about 7 km (4 miles) southeast of
Mosul, and raised the Iraqi flag.
The main objective of the attack on
Mosul, is to save the citizens trapped in the city due to the conflict.
Summary: Kurdish peshmerga forces launched a fresh attack on Daesh (ISIS) forces early Sunday as part of a campaign to capture
Mosul, the militants' de facto capital in Iraq, Kurdish officials said.
In 2014, the city of
Mosul fell to ISIS forces and since that time the Iraqi Government has been planning to retake the city.
Iraq's Defense Minister Khalid al-Obeidi has said Daesh (ISIS) leaders and their families have sold their belongings and fled
Mosul as Iraqi forces close in on the northern city.
NINEWA/ Aswat al-Iraq:
Mosul Police Commander Staff General Mehdi al-Gharawi announced that the police sources killed 74 terrorists and arrested 449 wanted persons south of
Mosul city.
Summary: North Iraq city of
Mosul becomes nightmare for journalists, with five killed since October with alleged impunity.
