NEWS - Irak: Kurden erobern die Stadt Bashiq zurück
November 9, 2016 - Bashiq, Mosul, Iraq: A year ago the Kurdish Peshmerga army lost Bashiq, a city of 200,000 people, to ISIS. On November 6, the Peshmerga started the battle to regain the lost city, with two tanks and dozens of armored vehicles attacking from four sides. Three bulldozers cleared the way, two of them blew up on mines and IEDs. The column entered the city under heavy fire supported by American and French air raids and Turkish artillerie. The 200 or so ISIS fighters resisted and killed a tank commander. After losing four men the Peshmerga retreated but launched a new assault today to retake the city, only 13 Kms behind the major attack on Mosul and a threat to its success. Iraqi Special Forces unit and Peshmerga soldiers conducted house to house searches and successfully cleared the city of all ISIS combatants who had dug a network of underground tunnels to defend the city. Most buildings showed signs of heavy bombing and destruction. (Patrick Chauvel/Polaris) (FOTO:DUKAS/POLARIS) *** Local Caption *** 05660007

Three bulldozers opened the way, two of them blew up on land mines and IED's, (yellow explosion smoke and burning bulldozer.) The column entered the city under heavy fire supported by American and French air bombings and Turkish artillery. The 200 or so ISIS fighters resisted and killed a tank commander ( blood on tank, and Peshmerga crying his death.) After losing four soldiers the Peshmerga retreated. Another attack is on its way today as it is important to retake this city located only 30 Kms behind the main assault on Mosul and representing a threat.
