04.09.2014 – Hawar Abdulrazaq – BasNews, Erbil – Since early Thursday morning, United States military planes have begun shelling the outskirts of Mosul, a Sunni-majority city in northern Iraq and military post of Islamic State (IS) militants.

According to a source from the Peshmerga forces stationed near Mosul, US warplanes began bombing the hideouts of IS militants in Mosul and the surrounding areas in the ill-lit hours of dawn. The current shelling began in the neighborhoods of Somar and Intisari, which are on the outskirt of Mosul. US planes also attacked high buildings in the city that have been used as hideouts and supply storage by the Jihadi group. A few days ago, US warplanes dropped thousands of paper leaflets on Mosul, urging residents to stay clear of places occupied by the Islamic State militants.
