Islamic State transfers heavy weapons from Mosul to Syria: the jihadists are preparing to leave
The Islamic State (IS) militants have transferred 35 artillery cannons from Mosul to areas the group holds in Syria.
Member of the Free Officers Movements in
Mosul, Sheikh Humam al-Dawhi, is reported by local media to have said
that on Wednesday, IS insurgents transferred almost all of their heavy
military equipment from the city to the Bahaj area, before moving it on
to Syria.
“They have moved all their heavy weapons
out of Mosul, except some military vehicles. No other large weapons or
military equipment is left inside the city,” he said.
Al-Dawhi believes that IS is relocating its military equipment as part of preparations to leave Mosul.
IS looted a vast array of equipment from
barracks abandoned by the Iraqi army in June 2014, including heavy
weaponry supplied by the US government.
