Iraqi forces recapture new neighborhoods in Mosul, says commander Iraqi forces have regained a new neighborhood in Mosul’s right bank on Thursday, Commander of ‘We Are Coming, Nineveh’ operations told The Baghdad Post.
In a statement, Lt Gen Rachid Yarallah said, “The Federal Police, the Rapid Response and the 9th Armored Division, liberated El-Eqtsadyen neighborhood in the right bank and raised the Iraqi flag over its buildings”. On Sunday, the US-backed Iraqi forces pushed on ISIS terror group in neighborhoods of Uribe, Rifai, El-Eqtsadyen and 17 Tammouz.
subgirlcopy Iraqi Stock Exchange: Shareholding companies are not commensurate with capital and call for .. economic Number of readings: 11 2017/05/18 12:51 The Iraqi market for securities, the number of joint stock companies operating in Iraq is not commensurate with the capital of Iraq, calling for the dissemination of the culture of investment in capital.
“The number of participating companies in the Iraqi economy is 130, which is not commensurate with the Iraqi capital, whose size exceeds many times this number,” Taha Ahmed Abdul Salam, the market’s executive director, said in a press statement.
“Indicators associated with the investment field are still below the level of ambition,” he said. “Efforts that are based on spreading investment culture must be diversified in capital,” he said.
Subgirlcopy says: Iraq troops face ISIS chemical attacks in final battle for Mosul Brigadier General Yahya Rasool, spokesman for Iraq’s Joint Operations Command, on Tuesday told a news conference in Baghdad that ISIS terrorists now control just over 10 per cent of the west Mosul, Telegraph reported on Thursday.
Facing defeat, ISIS has become increasingly ruthless in its attempts to slow its opponents’ progress. Since April, the terror group has regularly used poison gas against Iraqi troops, according to officers and soldiers.
The chemicals, believed to be chlorine or mustard gas, are launched in mortar rounds or released from improvised explosive devices fashioned out of soft drink bottles that are set off by the retreating insurgents. The soldiers fighting in Hay al Aiqtisadiiyn belong to the elite Emergency Response Division (ERD) that is advancing in Mosul’s northwest, as the Iraqi military is gradually tightening the noose around the Old City, the historic core on the west bank.
The elite Iraqi Special Operations Forces also fighting in Mosul have regularly been targeted since April, sources say. In a base outside the city, ERD sapper Majid Najid carefully unwraps a blanket from a red waste bin.
Cautiously, he lifts one of the glass bottles that lie at the bottom. His explosive ordinance disposal team found the stash in an ISIS bomb making factory in the 17 Tammuz neighbourhood adjacent to Hay al Aiqtisadiiyn. A further stash was found in the Zinjili area closer to the city center.
Often wrapped in plastic to avoid leaking, the bottles are attached to a fuse. They were designed to be indiscriminate chemical booby traps. “ISIS fighters place the bottles close to the our forces, then light the fuse and quickly run away.
The gas from one bottle can spread through a whole neighbourhood,” says Mr Najid. International law prohibits the use of chemical weapons such as poison gas. But ISIS has repeatedly flouted the rules of war, killing thousands of prisoners and holding Mosul’s population hostage as human shields.
The widespread use of gas is the latest brutal transgression by the cornered jihadists. “ISIS is using chemical weapons because it is losing the battle. They will use it in the Old City too, it is their final bastion,” says Lt Col Muhanned.
Iraqi troops invade western Mosul district, kill militants in airstrike
Iraqi army has invaded another district as troops resume their advance in the western side of Mosul, a source said.
Speaking to Shafaaq News, the source said that the army’s elite Counter-Terrorism Service raided al-Najjar district, recapturing half of it.
Hundreds of Islamic State families publicly fled al-Najjar and the remaining IS-held districts in western Mosul, along with civilians heading toward the liberated regions.
In related news, the War Media Cell reported that Iraqi fighter jets F16 have destroyed a booby-trapping workshop, killing several IS militants in an airstrike launched in western Mosul.
In a statement on Thursday, the WMC said “the airstrike destroyed all weapons and explosive substances that were inside the workshop, located on al-Shifa district, in western Mosul.”
“The jets also destroyed two IS locations, one of them was used for telecommunications. A bomb factory in Tal Afar town was also destroyed,” the statement added.
On Wednesday, Iraqi troops completely retaken al-Rifaie district and raised the Iraqi flags above its buildings.
Iraqi forces have been sweeping through northwestern neighborhoods over the past two weeks in a way to invade the strategic Old City.
More than 16,000 IS members were killed since beginning of operations in Mosul, Brigadier General Yahya Rasool, the military spokesperson, said in a press conference on Tuesday declaring that 89.5 percent of western Mosul was liberated with only few districts remaining under the militants control.
