Mosul (/moʊˈsuːl/; Arabic: الموصل – al-Mawṣil (local pronunciation: el-Mōṣul); Syriac: ܢܝܢܘܐ – Nînwe; Kurdish: مووسڵ – Mûsil) is a city of normally about two and a half million people (2014 est.) in northern Iraq, illegally occupied since 10 June 2014 by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.
Mosul is completely ruled by the Islamic State terror group headquartered in Al-Raqqah, Syria.The legitimate government of Iraq stopped paying salaries soon after the city was overrun by militants. (that ISIL allegedly exploited by stealing a generous percentage) which it had previously paid to city workers including nurses, doctors,
Located some 400 km (250 mi) north of Baghdad, the original city stands on the west bank of the Tigris River, opposite the ancient Assyrian city of Nineveh on the east bank, but the metropolitan area has grown to encompass substantial areas on both the "Left Coast" (east side) and the "Right Coast" (west side) as the two banks are described in the local language.
Tal Afar , (Turkish: Telafer) (pronounced /ta.la.fer/), also known as Tal'Afar, Tall Afar, Tell Afar or Tel Afar, is a city and district in northwestern Iraq in the Nineveh Province located approximately 63 km west of Mosul, 52 km east of Sinjar and 200 km north west of Kirkuk.
While no official census data exists, the city which had been assessed to have a population of approximately 200,000, had dropped to 80,000, as of 2007, nearly all of whom are Iraqi Turkmen. In Tal Afar itself, the population is mostly Turkmen, about 75 per cent of whom were Sunni Muslims, while a quarter were Shi’ites. While most residents can speak Arabic, Iraqi Turkmen, a Turkic language, is the most common language used throughout the city. However, in late 2015, The Economist reported that the city is mainly populated by Arabs.
10 kilometres (6.2 mi) southwest of the town of Tal Afar are the mounds of Yarim Tepe which yielded remains from the Halafian culture from the Hassuna, Halaf and Ubaid periods, between 7,000 and 4,500 BC.

*Contains some upsetting scenes* The commander of the US-led military coalition in Iraq says it could take another two months to re-capture the city of Mosul from so-called Islamic State. The coalition is providing support to Iraqi security forces and Kurdish fighters in the offensive which began almost two months ago. Since then the UN says 84,000 people have fled their homes, and medical teams in the city of Irbil say they are facing a disastrous level of civilian casualties. Orla Guerin reports.

Repairs have begun on Khazir Bridge, which spans the Great Zab River on the route linking Erbil with Mosul.
The Iraqi army has flushed Daesh militants out of Nimrud, recapturing the ancient city from the terror group. In a statement, the army announced that Iraqi forces took full control of the city and raised the national flag above its buildings. Nimrud is located 30 kilometers south of Mosul and is home to the ruins of a three-thousand-year-old Assyrian city. Daesh destroyed historical relicts and monuments in Nimrud after overrunning it two years ago. In another development, troops seized the village of Numaniya on the outskirts of Mosul. They are pushing ahead with a major operation to defeat Daesh in its stronghold Mosul, Iraq’s second largest city.

WATCH NOW - TERROR: The Islamic State: http://bit.ly/2f0b8xQ The Islamic State, a hardline Sunni jihadist group that formerly had ties to al Qaeda, has conquered large swathes of Iraq and Syria. Previously known as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), the group has announced its intention to reestablish the caliphate and has declared its leader, the shadowy Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, as the caliph. The lightning advances the Islamic State made across Syria and Iraq in June shocked the world. But it's not just the group's military victories that have garnered attention — it's also the pace with which its members have begun to carve out a viable state. Flush with cash and US weapons seized during its advances in Iraq, the Islamic State's expansion shows no sign of slowing down. In the...
British hostage John Cantlie has appeared in a new ISIS propaganda video entitled “From Inside Aleppo.” The documentary style video shows the 43-year-old photojournalist, who has been held captive by ISIS for over two years, reporting as a travel guide on a range of topics including education, drone strikes, and sharia law along with references to the Charlie Hebdo attack. We take a look at the video, in this Lip News clip with Elliot Hill and Jason Venzor.

Denis Cuspert, aka Deso Dogg, is a German who joined the Islamic State. He's become a household name for many. However, in this war – in which Germany has been directly supplying weapons to the Peschmerga forces since the attacks on Paris and is more than indirectly involved with Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and other Gulf states – hardly anyone is talking about the German civilians in northern Syria that are fighting terror militias. While the German government sends its Tornado jets to Syria without a mandate under international law, we discovered German civilians, as well as other international volunteers fighting with and assisting Kurdish commandos. With AK-47s in hand, they are trying to halt the advance of the Islamic State and set up their own in its place. They’re trying to promote a soc...
