Baghdad - Al-Ameri told al-Mayadeen news channel that his forces have managed to create different fronts in Mosul, Tal Afar and Mosul general region to drive a wedge between the ISIS terrorists in the region. "We preferred to start the operations from the Western side of Mosul and then enter the Tal Afar battleground so that the ISIS supply routes will be blocked," he said. Al-Ameri added that the Mosul operation is a national operation and no foreign force is allowed to interfere in it. The latest reports from Mosul said that the Iraqi forces are "very close" to a strategic mosque in Western Mosul, proceeding with operations to clear the area from ISIS militants.
