Iraqi soldiers entered Mosul
Iraqi soldiers entered today in Mosul, thus beginning the "true" battle to recapture the largest city that have captured the jihadists of the Islamic State organization (IR).
Special forces penetrated in Mosul from the east, taking positions in Tzountaintat al Mufti district, according to the command center of the Iraqi army.
"Right now begins the true liberation of the city of Mosul," said Gen. Taleb al Segati Kenan, commander of the Iraqi counterterrorism service.
"Our ultimate goal" is the complete "liberation" of Mosul, adding the Iraqi officer, who spoke from the community Kogktzali, located right next to Mosul and also re-occupied by Iraqi forces today.
A few hours earlier the Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadan also showed optimism, two weeks after the launch, 17 October, the company for the recovery of Mosul.
"I would again tighten the noose around the IR from all sides," he said in his address to the Turkish television. The jihadists "will not escape, you can either die or surrender," said Abad said.
Experts estimate that the militants of IK -ektimatai by Americans to number 3,000 to 5,000 in Mosouli- will continue unrelenting battle to keep their stronghold, where their leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi proclaimed 2014 the creation of " caliphate "in Iraq and Syrian territories that were conquered.
