Fleeing Iraqi civilians walk past the heavily damaged Al Nuri mosque as Iraqi forces

The decaying bodies of foreign terrorists are piling up among the ruins of Mosul where the last few dozen Daesh terrorists are mounting a desperate last stand.

More than three quarters of the remaining terrorists in Mosul are foreigners, according to Iraqi commanders who have reported a spike in suicide attacks as anti-Daesh forces close in on the Old City.

 

“They never surrender,” said General Abdel Ghani Al Assadi, a commander in Iraq’s elite Counter-Terrorism Service.

“Old Mosul will be their graveyard.”

It was in Mosul in July 2014 that Daesh leader Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi made his only public appearance, to urge Muslims worldwide to move to his so-called ‘caliphate’, proclaimed less than a week earlier, straddling Iraq and Syria.
