ISIS fighters blown up while booby-trapping Mosul house

Two other extremists were injured in the blast in Tal Afar, Nineveh Province. The house they tried to blow up belonged to an executed man. US-backed Iraqi troops took the al-Hurriya bridge in Mosul.

A source said: ‘Two members of the Islamic State were killed and two others were wounded, while planting explosives inside a house in the eastern neighborhoods of Tal Afar, west of Mosul.

‘The house belongs to a security member, who was executed two years ago by the Islamic State group.’

Earlier today, it was reported that two Iraqis had to strip down to their underwear to prove they were not carrying explosives.

US-backed Iraqi forces today took al-Hurriya bridge in the city, as the battle for Mosul wears on.

The number of people fleeing the city has reached 45,000.
