IS plants bombs in copies of Quran near Mosul

Islamic State terrorists have planted bombs in copies of the Quran before leaving them on the streets and in front of houses in Kan’ous, a village close to the city of Mosul, the Iran Front Page has reported. Resorting to guerilla deception is nothing new for IS, according to IFP, which has targeted Sunnis, Shiites, Kurds, Christians, and many others. According to reports that the village of Kan’ous has since been liberated by the Iraqi



army.

According to an announcement from the Operation Inherent Resolve joint task force yesterday, the US-led coalition against IS conducted five airstrikes to soften the terror group’s forces near Mosul. The Mosul strikes reportedly eliminated seven mortar systems, four Daesh-held buildings, two vehicles, and a front-end loader while engaging four tactical units, according to the news release. The airstrikes also damaged 31 supply routes.
