Combing operations underway in Mosul

Iraqi forces arrested six "Islamic State of Iraq and Syria" (ISIS) elements they found hiding in a basement in Mosul's Old City, Joint Operations Command spokesman Brig. Gen. Yahya Rasul said Wednesday (July 12th).

"Iraqi forces have today combed about five kilometres of Mosul's Old City," he said, noting that they "found six terrorists hiding in the basement of a house, and seized about one tonne of explosives and ammunition left behind by ISIS".

Operations to remove debris and the remnants of war continue, as well as operations to remove landmines and dismantle houses rigged with explosives, he told Diyaruna.

"We also continue to evacuate and assist civilians," he said.
