    ISIS reacting to Mosul offensive?

  • The Iraqi government's offensive in Mosul, one of ISIS's last remaining strongholds in Iraq has cut off the groups supply lines and has made them increasingly vulnerable. Experts assess that the bombings could be a desperate retaliation to the situation in Mosul.

    The militants, who then took refuge in a nearby cemetery continued their assault despite being pushed back by army helicopters.

    At least 12 army personnel were killed in the attack.

    Iraqi security forces secured the location of the blast but found no traces of the perpetrators.

    The region was put under emergency lockdown after the attack to prevent any further incidents.

    Number of victims still not confirmed

  • The intensity of the blasts at Abu Gharib and Sadr have made it difficult for authorities to assess the number of victims. While official sources say the figure is at 44 so far, local sources peg the number at over 70.
