A senior official from the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) has welcomed news that residents of Mosul have risen against the Daesh Takfiri terrorists, saying the Iraqi city is likely to witness a “person by person” fight, PressTV reports.
“There are many reports that there are elements that have agreed to kill members of Daesh. Some members of Daesh were killed in the street,” Karim Sinjari said on Saturday.
The Iraqi military, allied with volunteer fighters and the Kurdish Peshmerga forces, have been engaged in a major operation for the liberation of Mosul since October 17
Elsewhere in his remarks, Sinjari rejected speculations that Iraqis would be able to imminently recapture Mosul. He said the battle for the city, which fell into the hands of terrorists in 2014, would be tough.
