Notorious mother of Daesh killed in house collapse in Tal Afar

A notorious mother of three Takfiri Islamic State militants died Thursday when her house partially collapsed west of Nineveh, a local source was quoted saying.

Alsumaria News quoted the source saying that “Um Daesh” (mother of the Islamic State) died under a collapsing wall at a house in Tal Afar, the last major Islamic State stronghold in Nineveh.

“She was in her sixties and had always bragged about her affiliation with the group and used to threaten locals with her three sons who were behind several executions of innocents over the past years,” said the source.

The Iraqi government has recently set Tal Afar as the next target of operations against the Islamic State. So far, the town has been isolated from the Syrian borders and from Mosul by the pro-government Popular Mobilization.
