US forces to partake in western Mosul invasion: Iraqi minister

February 02 2017 03:59 PM

Iraqi Defense Minister Erfan al-Hayali

 

 

US forces will join Iraqi government forces in their anticipated offensive against Islamic State extremists in western Mosul, the Defense Ministry said in a statement on Thursday.

Al-Hashd al-Shaabi (Popular Mobilization Units) and fighter jets from the U.S.-led international military coalition will partake in taking control over the western region, according to the statement.

Iraqi Defense Minister Erfan Mahmoud al-Hayali has received a phone call from the head of the United States Central Command, General Joseph L. Votel, which discussed coordination and joint cooperation between the Iraqi joint forces and the US troops backed by international air forces," read the statement.

It added that both sides agreed to set a definite date to begin military operations in the western side of Mosul after operations concluded at the eastern region. 

Votel stressed that U.S. troops would "continue to provide assistance to Iraqi forces through aerial support and engagement in difficult battles,' according to the ministry.

A U.S.-led international military coalition has been backing the Iraqi government in its three-month-old battle against Islamic State militants who took over Mosul in 2014. Operations managed to clear the eastern region from extremists on January 24th, and preparations are running to invade the west where the group still holds a majority of territory.

So far, the U.S. and other international troops have been playing an advisory and training role with Iraqi troops. They only engaged in fighting through air forces, though some instances of not- much- publicized ground engagement were reported over the past few months.

 TigerGorZow! Glad to provide input. I suspect this is highly indicative we are in an extremely good "POSITION" right now. I strongly believe the Iranian rats will get run out of Iraq extremely soon since I can not imagine Iraq being a Sovereign Nation and having foreign (Non Coalition) troops or Militias in Iraq. The instilled sectarian violence would not promote a foreign investment ready country and the subsequent needed help to rebuilt. For goods and services needed to rebuilt Iraq (I could be wrong here), Iraq needs to be a full member of the WTO and have an internationally traded (and valued) currency. If Iraq does not get on the trajectory of a solid internationally secure investment environment after ISIS is effectively dealt with, then the revaluation could be some time out - maybe into the 2020s since the infused sectarian conflicts could very likely explode. I don't think that is going to happen under President Donald Trump's watch.

IMO, there will be a brief, intense battle in western Mosul.  As soon as the good guys gain a foothold, and then proceed to advance, I am SURE that the rats will run.  Their entire book of tactics has been based on cowardly attacks on the defenseless and brainwashed suicide bombers.  At the moment they see that their cause is lost, THEY WILL RUN OR SURRENDER.

The fact that they cannot see how hopeless their situation is right now is only temporary.  Knowing that their dead bodies will have their faces chewed off by street dogs just adds to the pressure.  

We all have a distinct sense of self preservation.  Cowards have an even stronger version.

I think that is a very good point, 429! I suspect, though, there is the "behind the scenes" agreements and the "out in the open" crazy stuff to be a distraction. What I think is really good news is the UN territorial demarcation between Kuwait and Iraq very recently agreed by Iraq even though there are naysayers in Iraq. I take the Kuwaiti travel ban could be an indication that there are remaining solid agreements between Iraq and Kuwait to further lift sanctions against Iraq even though there is a Kuwaiti visa restriction. There could be subversives in Kuwait to undermine these out in the open and behind the scenes agreements. All in all, I take these visa and travel restrictions as good news.

Iraq faces massive challenge in Mosul offensive - UN envoy

February 02 2017 09:10 PM

.

Iraqi forces face a massive challenge as they press on to retake western Mosul, but the days of the ISIS group are numbered, a UN envoy said Thursday.

Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi declared on January 24 that his forces had retaken east Mosul and the battle was now moving to the other side of the Tigris River, AFP reported.

"This steady progress should not conceal that fighting has been and will be a massive challenge, in particular inside the old city in western Mosul," UN envoy Jan Kubis told the Security Council.

"Yet in the rather short foreseeable future, the liberation operations in Iraq are coming to an end - the days of the so-called ISIL are counted."

Iraq launched an offensive in October to drive out IS fighters who seized Mosul in 2014.

Kubis voiced concern over the "extremely high percentage" of civilian casualties, adding there was "clear evidence" from gunshot wounds that civilians were being targeted by IS combatants.

The envoy added that civilians will be at "extreme risk" when the fighting starts in the western sections of Mosul.

IS Cuts off Hands of Two Children in Mosul

"This Is Why ISIS Deserve No Mercy,  Kill Them All & Eradicate the Entire Group & Every Thought Of Their Existence"

The children refused to receive military drills ("Nothing But Courage & Bravery") 

• 02 February 2017
   

 

 

ERBIL — Militants from the Islamic State (IS) organization cut off the hands of two children in western Mosul for defying an order by the extremist organization, the Iraqi media reported.

According to the news published on Thursday, the children received the punishment in front of their families, after they refused to participate in military training for countering the Iraqi forces.

Due to a sharp decline in its manpower, the IS is forcing  more and more children to the battlefields.

The IS grip on its capital city in Iraq, Mosul, is getting loose because  since October 17, 2016  every day some new areas are being liberated from IS and now the Iraqi forces have fully gained control over the eastern side of the city.

IS Third Senior Official Killed near Tel Afar

Shi'ite forces also took control over some areas near Tel Afar

02 February 2017

 

 

 

ERBIL — Third top official of the Islamic State (IS) organization, Abubakir al-Khatuni, was killed on Thursday in the Iraqi forces' bombardments near the town of Tel Afar, west of Mosul.

Iraqi media cited Hezbollah Brigades of Shi'ite Popular Mobilization Forces (Hashd Militias) saying the IS official was killed in an operation conducted by the Hezbollah Brigades and  the rest of Hashd militias.

According to the reports, Khatuni was one of the "most dangerous" Wahhabis, who was killed after the Shi'ite forces received "subtle" intelligence information about his location.

Shi'ite forces, as the reports indicate, also took control over some adjacent areas of Tel Afar, including Ain Talawi which has been a stronghold for the armed group who conducted successive attacks on the neighboring areas.

Hashd Al-Shaabi Detains Men Fleeing Mosul: HRW

The militiamen detain the males ages 15 and up in unidentified whereabouts

•  
   

02 February 2017

 

 

ERBIL — The Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), also known as Hashd al-Shaabi, are reportedly carrying out unauthorized screenings of males ages 15 and up for possible involvement with the Islamic State (IS). The screenings are leading to detentions, without providing further information about the whereabouts or the state of the detainees, according to the Human Rights Watch (HRW) report.

“In case after case, relatives are telling us that their male family members are being stopped by PMF militiamen and disappearing,” said Lama Fakih, deputy Middle East director at HRW.

“While we cannot know exactly what has happened to the men detained, the lack of transparency, particularly for their families as to their whereabouts, is cause for real concern," added Fakih.

According to the HRW, the PMF do not have an official mandate or the necessary training to carry out screenings. This fact, in conjunction with lack of information about the location of the detainees heightens the risk of possible abuse and torture.

“The authorities should ensure that detainees’ families know where they are and publicly issue information about the number of people detained as part of the operation to retake Mosul from ISIS,” stated the HRW report.

“It is crucial for the authorities to take all measures to ensure that their whereabouts are known and the scale of detention is documented,” added Fakih.

Moreover, the detentions are taking place even after the men have been cleared by the official screenings by the Iraqi authorities.

“Some men appear to be vanishing into the night even after official screenings by Iraqi security forces confirmed they were not on their wanted lists” Fakih said.

It is of utmost importance for the Iraqi authorities to monitor and control the groups that are operating in its territory, so that illegal detentions do not take place in the future, asserted the HRW.

“Iraqi authorities should only allow bodies with a screening mandate to screen people and ensure that anyone detained is held in a recognized detention center accessible to independent monitors and granted their due process rights enshrined in international and Iraqi law. All detention should be based on clear domestic law, and every detainee should be brought promptly before a judge to review the legality of their detention. Iraqi law requires that authorities bring detainees before an investigative judge within 48 hours of their detention,” according the HRW.

Hashd al-Shaabi is a Shi'ite militia force which was formed in order to fight the IS. It is sponsored by the state of Iraq and includes within in about 40 militia groups.

Hashd al-Shaabi militiamen have been repeatedly reported by many human rights monitoring organizations including Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International for the evident war crimes they have committed against Sunni civilians in different areas in Iraq particularly in Falluja and Mosul.

The militia group is participating in Mosul offensive in the west of the city despite frequent calls of Nineveh officials for their exclusion from the operation.

US admits 199 unintentional civilian deaths in Syria, Iraq

February 02 2017 08:15 PM

Pentagon

 

Eleven civilians died in US-led coalition air strikes against ISIS terrorist group late last year, officials said Thursday .

The acknowledgement brings to 199 the total minimum number of unintentional deaths from the campaign that started in the fall of 2014, though critics say the real number is far higher .

A statement from the coalition said investigators had probed a series of reports alleging civilian deaths from air strikes.

Seven of these reports were deemed non-credible, while four others, dating from October to December, were credible .

In one incident, seven civilians were killed in a December 7 strike on an ISIS compound near the group's Syrian stronghold Raqa .

"Although the coalition makes extraordinary efforts to strike military targets in a manner that minimizes the risk of civilian casualties, in some cases casualties are unavoidable," the coalition statement read .

A December 9 strike saw two civilians killed near Mosul in Iraq.

Though the coalition did not provide details, unintentional deaths sometimes occur when a civilian enters a bomb's zone of destruction after that munition has been released from a plane or drone circling high overhead.

It can take about 30 seconds for a bomb to reach its target.

ISIS cancels Friday's prayers in Tal Afar city

February 03 2017 02:31 PM

ISIS Terrorist Group

ISIS terrorist group canceled Friday's prayers in Tal Afar city after a sound bomb exploded inside a mosque west of Mosul in Nineveh governorate, a local source said.
 

The terrorist group deployed its militants in the area especially at the main crossroads after the explosion.

The incident asserts that there is a resistance inside the city controlled by the terrorist group, the source said.

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.
