Iraqi forces liberate Nuri Mosque, ISIS command center in Mosul


The Iraqi Counter Terrorism Service (CTS) forces have controlled al-Nuri Mosque, al-Hadbaa Minaret and al-Sirgkhana district in Mosul's right bank, Lieutenant-General Abdul Amir Rashid Yarallah, commander of "We Are Coming, Nineveh" operations, revealed on Thursday.

In a press statement, Yarallah said that CTS forces continue its push to liberate the Old City from ISIS' clutches.

Al-Sirgkhana is a strategic area considered an ISIS' command center in Mosul's right bank. Al-Nuri Mosque is the place where the terrorist group declared their self-proclaimed caliphate.

It is estimated that there are a few of ISIS terrorists left in Mosul, the second largest city of Iraq. It is expected that they will desperately defend the last pocket of the city that has been once their main stronghold in Iraq.
