Iraq: Army, Peshmarga Liberate Area in Mosul, 40 ISIL Militants Killed

The Iraqi Army in a joint operation with Kurdish Peshmarga fighters retook full control of an area in South of Mosul on Wednesday, killing 40 ISIL militants.

A senior army official said that the army soldiers and the Peshmarga forces liberated al-Koeur area, Nineveh province, after heavy clashes with the Takfiri militants.

Reports coming out of Mosul on Wednesday said that at least 40 ISIL militants were killed during the operation.

The ISIL Takfiri terrorists currently control parts of Syria and Iraq. They have threatened all communities, including Shiites, Sunnis, Kurds, Christians, Ezadi Kurds and others, as they continue their atrocities in Iraq.

Senior Iraqi officials have blamed Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and some Persian Gulf Arab states for the growing terrorism in their country.

The ISIL has links with Saudi intelligence and is believed to be indirectly supported by the Israeli regime.
