In June 2014, the bloodthirsty terrorist group ISIS has occupied Mosul, a city that has a population of 2.5 million. Though it was reported that 500,000 of those were able to flee the area before ISIS took over, the rest of the population was forced to endure their reign of terror.
It's estimated that about 70,00 Christians have been exiled or executed. Local Yazidi women were sold as sex slaves, while others were forced to cover their body from head to toe following the occupation.
Phone lines and internet access were also cut. Those inside Mosul are banned from leaving and are mandated to pay extra taxes.
However, that suffering is nearing its end as reports are coming in that the terrorist organization are crumbling because of the continuous bombardment led by the United States. The situation is so dire for the malevolent caliphate that it has recently declared a state of emergency following a spate of assassinations targeting top officials behind the organization.
"The international coalition airstrikes destroyed gatherings points and headquarters of ISIS in the forest areas in Mosul," said a source. It further stated that group is panicking and are removing what is little left of their men from the streets due to fear of ground attacks.
ISIS has recently suffered heavy losses in neighboring territories such as Qayyarah, Sharqat and Bashiqa shrinking its hold in the region. Aside from the airstrikes, the US-led coalition is also training Sunni tribal fighters to help fight the terrorists and drive them out of Mosul with a goal of handing over the city to Iraqi authorities later this year.
SAS snipers and ground troops are also pushing the terrorists back with the group's latest retreat placing them in Mosul.
Two notable sniper kills in recent months involved a shooter taking out an ISIS executioner by firing a .50 caliber rifle from a mile away and hitting the flamethrower strapped to the terrorist's back. Another is an SAS sniper that killed two car bombers with a single shot with the insurgents reportedly heading towards Libya.
