Iraqi army claims more than 16,000 ISIS militants killed in Mosul offensiveBy Rudaw 6 hours agoBAGHDAD, Iraq – The Iraqi army has claimed that more than 16,000 ISIS militants have been killed since the offensive to recapture Mosul from ISIS began last October. Brig. Gen. Yahya Rasool told reporters in Baghdad that 16,467 ISIS militants were killed by the joint offensive of the Iraqi and Kurdish security forces, backed by the US-led Global Coalition against ISIS in the five-month military operation to reclaim Iraq’s second-largest city of Mosul. This comes as the US spokesperson for the coalition had told Rudaw on May 5 that there are fewer than 1,000 militants left in Mosul fighting against the Iraqi forces in the last remaining districts of Western Mosul, located to the right bank of the Tigris River that bisects the city.Continued: http://www.rudaw.net/english/middleeast/iraq/160520175
