Washington - Arab Today
A US military official has outlined plans to retake the vital Iraqi city of Mosul from Daesh terrorists as early as April, Fox News reported Friday.
A senior US Central Command official said the "shaping" for the battle is currently underway, and the Iraqi military hopes to begin operations in the "April, May timeframe." The goal is to retake the city before Ramadan begins on June 17.
The official said five Iraqi Army brigades will be used in the fight, as well as several smaller brigades, composing a total force of up to 25,000 Iraqi troops. Three brigades of Kurdish Peshmerga fighters will participate as well.
