Mosul Offensive 'Risks Becoming Even More Bloody Than the Battle for Aleppo'. Corridor will be left for terrorists to escape to Syria

As the Kurdish Peshmerga forces and the Iraqi army launch an offensive on the northern Iraqi city of Mosul, currently occupied by Daesh terrorists, experts predict that it might be even more of a blood bath than the fight for Aleppo and explain what consequences it might have for Syria.


The General Command of Peshmerga has announced that the Kurdish Peshmerga forces and the Iraqi army launched an offensive on the northern Iraqi city of Mosul controlled by the Daesh terror group on Monday at about 03:00 GMT.

The command said that up to 4,000 Kurdish fighters were deployed to take part in the operation in accordance with an agreement between Iraqi Kurdistan and the government of Iraq.

Said Mamuzini, a representative of the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP), one of the main Kurdish parties in Iraqi Kurdistan, has told Sputnik earlier that a corridor will be left for terrorists to escape to Syria. Those retreating this way will not be captured. Currently, there are some 7,000 Daesh militants.

Similar view is echoed by the news website EurAsia Daily which also says that the US and Saudi Arabia are planning the "transfer" of Daesh militants from Iraq to Syria. Citing military-diplomatic sources in Moscow, the website says that the Iraqi government forces will provide a secure transfer of the jihadists into the Syrian city of Deir ez-Zor.
