ISIS terrorists fling tar-filled bombs at terrified Mosul residents

ISIS terrorists in western Mosul are adding liquid tar to bombs so that they cause more injuries to local residents, Mahmud al Surdji, a spokesman for the Nineveh Volunteers anti-terror group, told Sputnik.
“The militants have placed snipers on the roofs of many buildings. There is a female prisoner with each of them, which they are using as a human shield from airstrikes. They weren’t there before.”

Muwafak, an engineer from the city of Al-Qayyarah south of Mosul, told Sputnik that “kira” is easy for the terrorists to produce because local oil is rich in a molecular substance called asphaltene.

In October, the Iraqi army, with support from Shiite militia, Kurdish Peshmerga forces and federal police and the backing of the US-led coalition, launched an offensive to liberate Mosul from the jihadist terror group, which has occupied the city since July 2014.

The Iraqi army announced the liberation of the eastern part of the city in January, but as many as 500,000 civilians could remain in parts of western Mosul under Daesh control.

On Monday,  the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said that almost half a million people have been displaced since the start of the fight to liberate Iraq’s second-largest city from Daesh.
