Iraq's war against IS terrorism | Updates and Discussions

Bro, the news about Peshmerga going to Syria is fake or real you think? Because there is also recent news that our govt will allow Peshmerga through our soil.

IS currently attack Peshmerga in three fronts:

1) Sinjar/Shengal mountain area. Mountain surrounded, Peshmerga and remaining Yezidis retreated to higher grounds.

2) Qara Tappa countryside, Diyala province. Located in northeast of Baghdad and northwest of Jalawlah. Reports indicate that both Peshmerga and Shia militias (maybe Turkmen, not sure though) suffered casualties.

3) Rabi'a Bordercrossing: IS is trying to cut YPG-KRG logitics line. I have not catched latest news there.

4) Also Today, a car bomb hit Peshmerga position near Mosul Dam.

You decide whether they will send or not, I cannot comment on KRG.

In Amiriyat Al-Fallujah, south of Fallujah city, a car bomb was detonated alongside a passing military motorcade that included a vehicle carrying the commander of the 8th Brigade, Brig.-Gen. Sabah Ali, who was instantly killed, along with two of his aides. Clashes quickly erupted between ISIL gunmen who control parts of the town and security forces supported by tribal fighters within the town.
In Fallujah, shelling of the city's residential districts has killed at least 13 civilians and wounded 17 others, according to updated casualty figures.
In Garma, there were intermittent clashes in the area adjacent to Fallujah.

Iraqi Prime Minister To Visit Tehran
Iraqi Prime Minister Haidar al-Abadi is to visit Iran on October 20 for talks on Baghdad's battle against the Islamic State (IS) group.

Abadi's office said on October 19 that the one-day trip is part of his bid "to unite the efforts of the region and the world to help Iraq in its war against the terrorist group."

The visit also aims to strengthen cooperation between the two neighbors "in the fields of energy, and housing and construction," the statement said.

IS overran much of the country's Sunni Arab heartland in a lightning offensive in June.

Tehran is a key backer of the Shi'ite-led government in Baghdad.

According to senior Iraqi Kurdish officials, Tehran has deployed troops on the Iraqi side of the border in the Khanaqin area northeast of Baghdad.

Islamic State insurgents advance into Iraqi town of Qara Tappa | News , Middle East | THE DAILY STAR
BAGHDAD: Islamic State militants advanced on the Iraqi town of Qara Tappa on Monday disguised as Kurdish peshmerga fighters, Kurdish security sources said.

They seized two Kurdish villages after surprising the Kurdish fighters before launching the attack on Qara Tappa, 120 km (75 miles) north of Baghdad, seeking to expand their territory and heap pressure on Kurdish forces in disputed areas.

"The terrorists were wearing peshmerga uniforms and this tactic helped them to easily infiltrate our defences near Qara Tappa," a peshmerga officer said on condition of anonymity.

Reinforcements were sent from the Kurdish-controlled city of Khanaqin to repel the insurgents and prevent the town of Qara Tappa from falling, the sources said.

Qara Tappa is a mixed area of Sunni Arabs, Kurds and Turkmen that came under Kurdish control when Iraqi Kurds took advantage of the fall of much of northern Iraq's Sunni territories to Islamic State fighters in June to expand their own boundaries.

However, in early August, Islamic State mounted an offensive against the Kurds and came within miles of the Kurdistan region's capital Arbil before U.S. air strikes forced them back.

The Kurdish security officers and residents said the militants approached Qara Tappa from the nearby towns of Saadiya and Jalawla, which they had already wrested from Kurdish control.

Peshmerga officers and medical officials said at least 15 people were killed, including seven peshmerga fighters and eight residents.

Elsewhere, a suicide bomber killed 11 and wounded 28 others inside a Shi'ite Muslim mosque, where people were attending a prayer service, in central Baghdad, a police officer and medical official said.

Five car bombs also exploded in the Shi'ite shrine city of Kerbala, killing three people and wounding 27, a security official said.

ISIS forces launch multiple attacks on Kurdish territory in Iraq, officials say
ISIS militants launched about 15 near-simultaneous attacks on Kurdish forces in northern Iraq on Monday in what Kurdish government officials and the news agency Rudaw said was a fierce and renewed push for territory.

ISIS also launched attacks against Mosul Dam, a strategic prize, and also renewed its offensive on the Sinjar mountain range in northern Iraq.

An ISIS-commandeered military truck loaded with explosives targeted a Peshmerga checkpoint along the security belt circling the dam, killing six security force members and injuring seven others critically, according to Peshmerga spokesman Said Mamazeen.

At almost the same time, ISIS militants launched an attack on the Nineveh Valley near the dam, which was repelled by Peshmerga forces using European and American weapons, the spokesman said.

New report further exposes Turkey links to ISIL militants

A newly-released report has shed further light on the Turkish government’s links to the ISIL militants, showing that Ankara is helping the Takfiri terrorist recruits cross the border into Syria.


A reporter working for Britain’s Sky News has obtained documents showing that the Turkish government has stamped passports of foreign militants seeking to cross the Turkey border into Syria to join the ISIL terrorists.

Passports from different countries were recovered in a village near Syria’s strategic town of Kobani across the Turkish border.

Turkey has time and time again been accused of backing ISIL terrorists in Syria.

Meanwhile, a large number of foreign passports recovered from terrorists killed during Syrian army operations show that many of the ISIL militants in Syria had traveled from Libya, Chechnya, Turkey, Morocco, Egypt, Belgium and France.

The Ankara government continues to block the supply of military equipment and reinforcements for Kurdish fighters defending Kobani against the terrorists.

Ankara also prevents Turkish Kurds from crossing the border into Kobani to join the anti-ISIL battle for the city.

Kobani and its surroundings have been under attack since mid-September, with ISIL militants capturing dozens of nearby Kurdish villages.
