He continued: "Daesh used improvised weapons, the production is a traditional style, because the majority of the organization's leaders are former officers in the Iraqi army or the intelligence services, so they tend to use the traditional", as quoted by Anatolia.

The United Nations says the militants seized nuclear materials have been used for purposes of scientific research at the University of Mosul when they overran the city and large areas of northern Iraq and eastern Syria in 2014.

US officials and rights groups and residents said the organization Daesh used chemical substances, including mustard gas in a number of attacks in Iraq and Syria.

It will regain control of the important strategic asset to the university and allow Iraqi forces faster towards the Tigris River, which officers say the army said troops will be able to launch attacks from the west of the city, which is controlled by hard-liners progress.

Iraq makes swift territorial gains against Islamic State in Mosul

MOSUL, Iraq: Iraqi forces have won a string of swift territorial gains in Mosul in the fight against the Islamic State group after months of slow progress, with a senior officer on Saturday laying claim to a cluster of buildings inside Mosul University and another edge of a bridge.

Iraqi forces now control the eastern sides of three of the city’s five bridges that span the Tigris River connecting Mosul’s east to west. Warplanes from the U.S.-led coalition bombed the city’s bridges late last year in an effort to isolate ISIS fighters in the city’s east by disrupting resupply routes.

At Mosul University, senior commanders said Iraqi forces had secured more than half of the campus Saturday amid stiff resistance, but clashes were ongoing into the afternoon. Iraqi forces entered the university from the southeast Friday morning and by nightfall had secured a handful of buildings, Brig. Gen. Haider Fadhil and Lt. Gen. Abdul-Wahab al-Saadi said on a tour of the university Saturday.

“We watched all the IS fighters gather in that building, so we blew it up,” said special forces Sgt. Maj. Haytham Ghani pointing to one of the blackened technical college buildings where charred desks could be seen inside. “You can still see some of their corpses.”

Thick clouds of black smoke rose from the middle of the sprawling complex Saturday morning. By afternoon, clashes had intensified with volleys of sniper and mortar fire targeting the advancing Iraqi forces. Convoys of Iraqi Humvees snaked through the campus, pausing for artillery and airstrikes to clear snipers perched within classrooms, dormitories and behind the trees that line the campus streets.

The massive operation to retake Mosul from ISIS was launched in October. Since then Iraqi forces have slowly clawed back more than a third of the city. Islamic State still maintains tight control of the city’s western half.

Medics operating a small field hospital in eastern Mosul said civilian casualties have dropped significantly over the past three days as Iraqi forces moved into government complexes like the university rather than dense civilian neighborhoods.

Iraqi forces are closing in on the Islamic State's stronghold in Mosul

 

 

MOSUL, Iraq/BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraqi special forces closed in on the Tigris river that runs through central Mosul on Saturday, advancing in parallel with other troops and forcing Islamic State to retreat in its last major stronghold in the country.
Islamic State has been driven out of more than half the areas it held east of the Tigris river, which bisects the city, but is still in control of the west. It will be harder for the jihadists to defend Mosul once Iraqi forces reach the river.
Baghdad meanwhile said it had come to an agreement with Ankara over a demand for withdrawal of Turkish forces from an area close to Mosul as the two regional powers sought to improve ties following a year-long spat over the military deployment.
In a visit to Iraq, Turkey's prime minister did not say a deal had been reached, but that the issue was discussed and would be resolved.
Tension between the two neighbours in the run-up to the U.S.-backed campaign to drive Islamic State from Mosul, which began in October, has been just one sign of the coming struggle for influence over Iraq's second city even once the jihadists have been driven out.
The battle for the city has yet to be won but is beginning to make quicker progress.
Iraqi counter-terrorism forces pushed to within several hundred metres (yards) of the Tigris and a strategic bridge on Saturday, the closest they have been, after staging an unprecedented nighttime assault the day before in a nearby district, a spokesman said.
Advances in recent days have driven militants out of several additional areas east of the river.
The counter-terrorism service (CTS) spokesman said new tactics and better coordination were helping.
"Counter-terrorism forces have been sent about 500 metres from the fourth bridge," Sabah al-Numan told reporters east of Mosul.
A coalition spokesman said on Twitter that Islamic State had damaged the fourth bridge in a "desperate act" as they lost ground. The bridge has already been hit by U.S.-led air strikes to prevent the militants sending reinforcements across the city.
CTS seized the Ghufran district, also known as al-Baath, and entered adjacent Wahda, Numan said.
A separate military statement said Iraqi federal police had recaptured a hospital complex in Wahda in southeastern Mosul, a significant turnaround after U.S.-backed army units were forced to withdraw from the site last month under fierce counter-attacks from Islamic State.
CTS and federal police "are now moving in parallel on both axes" in southeastern Mosul, Numan said.
"We are proceeding side by side ... and advancing at the same level. This is a very important factor, thanks to which Daesh (Islamic State) has not been able to move its fighters. It has to support one axis (front) at the expense of another."
"We have worn down the terrorist organisation with this type of advance."
Turkish withdrawal discussed
Senior CTS commanders met on Saturday at a makeshift outpost in eastern Mosul where life in areas recaptured from Islamic State is slowly returning to normal despite heavy damage to homes and infrastructure.
Residents lined the streets and vendors sold produce, eggs and meat in areas where clashes raged just a few weeks earlier.
One of the generals handed out chocolates to neighbourhood children beside a column of black Humvees as the distant sound of explosions rang out.
Friday's nighttime operation, launched after a week of planning, had been a particular success, Numan said.
CTS forces using night-vision equipment crossed the Khosr river, a tributary that runs perpendicular to the Tigris through eastern Mosul, via a makeshift earth bridge after Islamic State had destroyed permanent ones, he said.
Air strikes from the U.S.-led coalition sped that advance into Muthanna district.
The CTS and federal police are part of a 100,000-strong Iraqi force made up of the military, Kurdish fighters and Shi'ite militias, backed by U.S.-led coalition air power.
Some Sunni Muslim and Kurdish peshmerga units participating in the campaign received training from by Turkish forces at the Bashiqa camp northeast of Mosul.
Turkey's military presence in northern Iraq since well before the Mosul campaign has angered Baghdad, and the two countries traded barbs over the issue shortly before it began on Oct. 17.
Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said Baghdad reached an agreement with Ankara on Saturday over Iraq's request that Turkish forces withdraw.
He gave no details of the deal, which he announced during a visit to Baghdad by Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim.
Yildirim said at a news conference with Abadi: "We discussed the issue of Bashiqa."
"We see that significant progress is being made in cleansing Daesh from the region. In line with this, we will solve this (Bashiqa) subject somehow in a friendly way."
A joint communique issued after the prime ministers met said the countries had agreed to respect each other's territorial integrity, and noted that Bashiqa was "an Iraqi camp".
Yildirim also welcomed recent Abadi remarks that Iraq would not allow the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) to harm Turkey from Iraqi territory.
"This shows in the best way what we can do together and against terror," he said.
Turkey is trying to keep Kurdish militants away from its borders in both Iraq and Syria, fearing their presence could embolden its own Kurdish insurgency.
It also has historical ties to northern Iraq and Mosul, and is seeking to maintain influence there, especially against a Shi'ite-dominated Baghdad government.

Iraqi Troops Edge Deeper Into Mosul — With Caution

• January 15, 20176:41 AM ET

Iraqi forces are nearing what is expected to be the toughest part of the fight for the northern Iraqi city of Mosul. As troops push toward the river dividing the city, they face new tactics from Islamic State fighters adapting to an urban environment and the limitations of U.S. air and artillery support.

The more densely populated west side of the historic city, with its twisting streets and covered market, is still in ISIS hands. But Iraqi counter-terrorism troops this week for the first time reached the east bank of the Tigris River that splits the city.

"We know ISIS very well by now and we knew it would take a long time," Iraqi Gen. Abdul-Wahab al-Saadi told NPR in a recent interview near the front line.

Saadi commands 12 battalions of counter-terrorism forces. He won't say exactly how many troops are under his orders, but several thousand of his fighters have led Iraq's battle against ISIS for the last two years, pushing them back on several fronts, from areas north of Baghdad to Tikrit to Fallujah and now in Mosul.

 

 

As ISIS Strategy Evolves, Mosul Battle Gets Tougher On Iraqi Forces

List

The last time I saw Gen. Saadi was in Fallujah, as Iraqi forces took back that city in western Iraq last summer.

He says ISIS is putting up a tougher fight in Mosul. The extremist group has held the Iraqi city since it overpowered the Iraqi army and police in June 2014 and declared it the capital of their self-declared Islamic state, or caliphate.

"Their fighters in Mosul are tougher than they were in Fallujah," says Saadi, over tea in an abandoned house in a village near the front line. "In Fallujah, there were just fighters and a few car bombs. Here until now, they have detonated more than 250 car bombs just against my men."

As the fight has moved into more heavily populated neighborhoods and out of the open spaces of the countryside, he and U.S. commanders say ISIS is increasingly using drones.

"They are using them for many purposes," says Saadi. "One of the purposes is to track me."

He says the small drones bought on the market are used to help ISIS snipers and suicide bombers in targeting. ISIS has begun attaching explosives to larger drones.

 

Iraqi soldiers load rockets into a rocket launcher on the eastern side of Mosul on Friday. The fighting in and around the city has been going on for the past four months, with the Iraqi forces slowly advancing.

Mosul was a commercial center, filled with factories and workshops. ISIS has taken machine tool shops and converted them to manufacturing military-grade mortars. It has built car bomb factories across the city and has welded steel plates onto vehicles to turn them into more lethal vehicle-borne bombs.

Saadi shows us one of the locally made mortars. It's almost indistinguishable from Iraqi army mortars apart from the black and white ISIS logo painted on it.

The Iraqi counter-terrorism forces, trained by the U.S., are considered by the U.S. military to be the most professional in the Iraqi forces. Iraqi counter-terrorism troops are backed directly by U.S.-led air support. The Iraqi army and federal police are supported by Iraqi air strikes.

But as the fight moves further into the city, air strikes and artillery have limited use.

"Hospitals, mosques, schools, churches – those are all the places the US is not supposed to hit and all the places that ISIS is hiding in," says Saadi.

Although Iraq and international organizations have prepared camps for a flood of displaced Iraqis, relatively few have been able to leave. More than 700,000 civilians are still living in west Mosul.

PARALLELS

In Disputed Iraqi Territory, Rebuilding A City Means Doing It Yourself

In last year's battle for Fallujah, military leaders believe ISIS fighters escaped with thousands of civilians, all of them fleeing when the Iraqi army opened up a corridor.

In Mosul, Iraqi forces have surrounded the city and the battle plan has allowed no escape for anyone. Civilians now running out of food and water will be able to leave only as their neighborhoods are liberated.

"The civilians are a problem," says Saadi. "Their position near the front line makes us a little worried. It means we go slowly."

Near the airport in the Kurdish capital Erbil, the deputy commander of U.S. forces in Iraq tries to explain the complexity of the fight for Mosul.

 

Men push a cart at a makeshift river crossing next to a bridge destroyed by Islamic State militants in Mosul, Iraq, on Thursday. The Iraqi forces have reclaimed much of eastern Mosul, but the Islamic State still controls much of the western side of the city.

Khalid Mohammed/AP

"Picture any large metropolitan city on the U.S. East Coast — dense, older cities with smaller streets. And then picture having to eradicate all crime and any enemy force in there," says Brig. Gen. Scott Efflandt.

"It requires street by street, house by house, room by room operation," he said. "There's no quick way to do it. You have to walk, you have to climb stairs, you have to open doors and then repeat the process again and again and again and then when you're doing that you have to leave someone behind to guard the area you just went through. "

That's without U.S. troops on the frontlines.

After the U.S. and its allies invaded Iraq in 2003, American forces spent eight years in Iraq. Mosul is the biggest urban battle involving the U.S. in years. However, unlike previous battles, most of the 5,000 U.S. troops in Iraq aren't anywhere near the line of fire.

"When we think of what we do in Iraq, it's very difficult for people to understand we are not side by side with an Iraqi soldier shooting a rifle. It's not what we are doing here," says Col. Brett Sylvia, commander of the 2^nd brigade, 101^st Airborne Division – a force whose soldiers actually walked the streets of Mosul early in the war.

Sylvia commands about 2,500 troops advising and assisting the Iraqi military, mostly at tactical operations centers.

At Camp Swift, the small U.S. base outpost near Makhmour in northern Iraq where Col. Sylvia is based, a steel door connects the base to the Ninevah Operations Command. Iraqi generals sit next to U.S. officers looking at surveillance feeds from coalition aircraft .

"Mosul is an area twice the size and twice the area of Washington, D.C.," says Sylvia. "It would be tough for anyone to execute. When you put it in perspective it's impressive what they've been able to achieve so far."

Daesh militants leave secret documents behind at Mosul Univ.

"OOPs, Left our secret docs in the school house with our full names / nicknames.  Oh Crap.....They gonna find us and kill us IDIOTS...

January 15 2017 10:12 AM

Mosul University

 

Following the successful liberation of the University of Mosul from Daesh militants, Iraqi security forces have found some secret documents belonging to the terrorist group on the university's campus.

 

 

The documents included sensitive information on Daesh militias, such as their full names and nicknames, as well as the kind of weapons which they use in the fight. 

Also, the date when the Daesh militant joined the terrorist group and some military orders used by the Iraqi army were also stated in the document, in a move that reflects the military expertise enjoyed by the terrorist group.



All of the names were handwritten, and some of them were green-highlighted.

Some documents included orders given to al-Sarim al-Battar brigade.

Earlier, Iraqi counter-terrorism forces liberated all parts of Mosul University and raised the Iraqi flag on the top of its buildings.

Mosul is the last major Daesh stronghold in Iraq.

The battle of Mosul is the biggest ground operation in Iraq since the 2003 US-led invasion.

A victory by the 100,000-strong US-backed pro-government forces would probably spell the end for Daesh self-styled caliphate that has ruled over millions of people in Iraq and Syria since 2014.

IS top vigilante killed in western Mosul, civilians homes burned in east

A dead ISIS leader. A Photo

Nineveh (IraqiNews.com) A senior Islamic State vigilante died in the western Mosul town of Tal Afar on Sunday, having succumbed to injuries sustained in an airstrike carried out four days earlier, according to a local source.

“Daesh (Islamic State) lost three of its senior leaders during the current month in Tal Afar due to successful airstrikes,” the source told Alsumaria News, requesting anonymity.

IS has relied on religious vigilantes to observe civilians’ commitment to its extreme religious rules, occasionally imposing harsh punishments, reportedly amounting to death, on violators.

In eastern Mosul, another local source said the extremist group set fire to five houses in the districts of Mohandessin and Andalus after their residents declined to pay donations to the group’s combatants.

Iraqi government forces, assisted by US-led international forces, advisers and trainers, along with popular militias, have been carrying out a wide-scale campaign since October to retake Mosul, IS’s last urban stronghold in Iraq which fell in the group’s hands in 2014.

Iraqi military and police commanders have said recently they became in control over 90 percent of the eastern region of Mosul, and hope to move onwards to the west, where IS still maintains outstanding strongholds, including Tal Afar.

The situation in Mosul has forced 173.000 people to flee homes to refugee camps, and the United Nations had voiced fears, upon the launch of security operations, that battles could displace one million civilians.

Iraqi security forces liberated two more districts in Mosul on Monday and raised the Iraqi flag over their building, Commander of "We Are Coming, Nineveh" Operation Abdul Amir Rashid Yar Allah said.

The Counter-Terrorism Service managed to liberate al-Nabi Yunus and al-Shohada districts and inflicted the terrorist group heavy losses, Yar Allah added.

Earlier in the day, Iraqi troops recaptured Kendy, Qayrawan and al-Jamasa districts from Daesh militants.

ISIS admits defeat in Mosul's west bank

"Let It Sink In You ISIS Screaming Cowards, You Will Be Hunted Down & Killed All Over the World But Right Now Priority Is Mosul"

ISIS Terrorist Group

 

 

The ISIS terrorist group acknowledged its defeat when it was forced to cut all its main radio communications linking the leaderships with the militants fighting in various areas in eastern Mosul, a local source said on Monday.

This comes after the recent defeats that rocked the terrorist group especially that Iraqi joint forces, in cooperation with the US-led coalition, launched a military operation to recapture the city from the terrorist group.

The militants are screaming in the radio, the source said, adding that they are calling for help from the Iraqi forces.

The ISIS leaders cut the communications to prevent this state of fear and breakdown from reaching other militants fighting in the city's east bank.

The battle for Mosul is the biggest ground operation in Iraq since the 2003 US-led invasion. A victory by the 100,000-strong US-backed pro-government force would probably spell the end for ISIS self-styled caliphate that has ruled over millions of people in Iraq and Syria since 2014.

Yota, tiger thanks for the play by play  ISIS is being systematically irradicated and the liberation of Mosul on the horizon. Iraqis are not wasting time in getting their lives back to normal and this is huge news. Once Abadi announces Mosul is liberated we will see many items of importance fall into place imo. 

'Thanks again Yota and tigergorzow for these and other important articles you bring

Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of ISIS, has put an ultimatum on foreign fighters to either return home or conduct suicide attacks against Iraqi forces in Mosul with the promise of going to heaven and being rewarded with 72 virgins, a local source in Nineveh province told Al-Sumaria News on Monday.

ISIS are known to execute fighters who try to leave the terrorist group.

It is assumed that their encouragement to return to their home countries would be to carry out attacks or start their own insurgencies.
