Washington reveal "secrets" about the military operations, "the most dangerous dam in the world."

Follow-Iraq-Presse -19 August / August: The United States said the American, the air force targeted a 19 goals in Nineveh province in northern Iraq, in an attempt to prevent the threat of militants of the Kurdistan region, on the other hand, for the protection of the Mosul Dam and not to allow its use in the war.

 

He was the American army on the connector plug the title of "the most dangerous dam in the world" is now a place of very violent conflict between armed groups and Kurdish forces that are trying to restore it with the help of American troops.

 

It is not about the fate of the dam, but the fate of the millions of Iraqis who live upon which which is the largest in the country.

 

The head of the Middle East Forum Daniel Pipes's CNN "If you took control of the Mosul Dam, it can threaten anyone, and a very large part of Iraq, both flood and flash floods cut the supply of electricity and water which it is a terrible prospect."

 

 It is said that the dam was constructed beginning of the eighties of the last century, on the Tigris River (about 50 km north of Mosul), and is a major source of electricity, irrigation and flood protection, but hindsight by gunmen earlier this month turned it into a weapon is using water to threaten opponents. " 

 

 

 

 

 

The length of the connector plug 3.2 km and contains 12.5 million cubic meters of water, according to official figures, an independent. If collapsed for one reason or another it Satmr land of the Tigris until its population of Mosul Al1.7 million. It also will cause what looks like a tsunami in most cities and leading to Baghdad.

 

And explain President Barack Obama's message to Congress why the implementation of raids near the dam, saying "the fall of the dam could threaten the lives of a large number of civilians and puts into danger the staff of Americans and our facilities, including our embassy in Baghdad, as it would prevent the Iraqi government from the provision of basic services and the sensitivity of the population Iraqis. "

 

Pipes and compare what can happen repercussions of the destruction of the national government the Chinese dams in the Yellow Sea in 1938 in an attempt to stop the advance of the Japanese forces. This has led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Chinese because of the floods.

 

 An analyst military affairs at CNN James Spyder Marx said that "destroy means paying flooding along the Tigris, but I believe that the armed organization wants to keep control of it as it is because it provides electricity making them able to be used as a weapon disciplined against them are under their control.

 

He Babebs "The insurgents can exploit the impact of the dam as a reminder on water conflicts in the Middle East who live under the weight of a shortage in the supply of this vital substance."

 

But even in the event of armed desire not to harm him, suffers from a weakness in the dam foundation since its inception because there is a chronic problem related to internal threats drift and soil highly vulnerable to water so that there are landslides in the surroundings, which means vulnerable under the surface. Anthy.v ..
