EU shames Russia on Aleppo 'massacre' By Andrew Rettman-oct 18,16-euobserver
BRUSSELS, Today, 08:47-The EU has named Russia as being partly responsible for a “massacre” of “historic” proportions in the Syrian city of Aleppo.“Since the beginning of the offensive by the [Syrian] regime and its allies, notably Russia, the intensity and scale of the aerial bombardment of eastern Aleppo is clearly disproportionate … and may amount to war crimes”, EU foreign ministers said in a joint statement in Luxembourg on Monday (17 October).They implicated Russia in the “deliberate targeting of hospitals, medical personnel”, in the “targeting of a UN humanitarian convoy on 19 September”, and in the use of “starvation of civilians … as a tactic of war”.They said the Russian-led air strikes had used illegal munitions, such as “cluster bombs”, and that Russia’s ally, Syrian president Bashar al-Assad, was guilty of “confirmed use of chemical weapons”.They called for an “immediate cessation of hostilities” so that aid convoys could reach the combat zone.They did not threaten new sanctions against Russia, but they said they would add extra names of Syrian regime members and entities to their blacklist.Russia, half-way through the EU ministers’ talks, announced an eight-hour ceasefire in Aleppo on Thursday, but the EU’s foreign policy chief, Federica Mogherini, said aid agencies needed at least 12 hours to get in and out.Jean-Marc Ayrault, the French foreign minister, said EU states would not use military force to halt the killing.But he said “Europe must mobilise” its “political force, moral force” because “if Assad achieves his aim, which is the fall of Aleppo and the massacre of the population, it will be a stain on the history of Europe”.“We said clearly to Russia that you can stop this massacre”, he said.Stefan de Mistura, the UN’s special envoy on Syria, said there were 100,000 children in the line of fire and that people had had no aid for one month.“Between now and December, if we don’t find a solution for Aleppo, Aleppo will not be there anymore”, he said, adding, like France's Ayrault, that “history will judge us” if the Russian-Syrian campaign goes on.-Russia sanctions-Britain and the US had, prior to the Luxembourg meeting, said they were considering additional economic sanctions against Russia.Lithuania's foreign minister, Linas Linkevicius, joined them on Monday, telling the RFE-RFL news agency that sanctions were the EU’s “only leverage” and that without them “we cannot expect any change of the situation” in Syria.EU leaders will discuss Russia relations and whether to extend the life of existing economic measures, imposed over Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, at a dinner on Thursday in Brussels.Diplomats said events in Aleppo had made the extension of existing measures all-but a done deal, but Germany and Austria said on Monday that they were “sceptical” about additional restrictions.“I don't see how sanctions with a possible long-term effect are supposed to contribute to improving supplies to the civilian population [in Aleppo] … So I'm not the only one who, in this case, is rather skeptical about sanctions”, German foreign minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said.Austria’s Sebastian Kurz said: “We do not need a further escalation”.An EU source said Mogherini was also in the sceptics' camp. She "thought the EU needs to be engaged with everybody, and wants a role for the EU, so not to alienate Russia”, the source said.-Deaf ears-Russian statements the same day indicated it would not change path.Sergei Rudskoy, a defence spokesman, told the Tass news agency that even the eight-hour ceasefire “makes no sense” because it would help jihadist fighters, such as Jabhat al-Nusra, to regroup.Sergei Ryabkov, a deputy prime minister, said Western criticism on Syria was due to US geopolitics. “If something does not suit the United States in Russia’s behaviour, shouts about sanctions begin”, he said.Dmitry Peskov, the Kremlin spokesman, also ruled out any change in Ukraine.Russia, France, Germany, and Ukraine had spoken of holding a summit in Berlin on 19 October - one day before the EU leaders’ talks on Russia in Brussels.But Peskov said on Monday the chances of the Berlin meeting were “next to nil” because aides had not completed preparatory work.
Iraq fighting could bring jihadists to Europe, commissioner warns-By Eric Maurice-oct 18,16-euobserver
BRUSSELS, Today, 08:47-The Iraqi army's attempt to recapture the city of Mosul from the Islamic State militant group could spark a return of jihadist fighters to Europe, the EU security union commissioner has warned."This is a threat we must be prepared to face," Julian King said in an interview to Germany's Die Welt published on Tuesday.Mosul, part of Iraq's autonomous Kurd region, has been a stronghold of the militant group since June 2014. A large-scale operation was launched on Monday (17 October) by Iraqi and Kurdish forces to retake the 1.5 million strong city.On Tuesday morning, Kurdish regional leader Masoud Barzani said 200 sq km of land had already been taken.King however said that he did not expect a "mass exodus" of IS fighters if the city falls, but that "even a small number represents a serious threat".He said around 2,500 fighters in the Mosul area had come from Europe, and that past experience, especially in the Afghan war, shows that not all foreign fighters go back to their country after they are defeated."Some are killed in combat or look for another fighting scene," he said.The security commissioner, who took office at the end of September, said the EU should "give terrorists always less opportunities to act".He said it was currently "too easy" to dodge passport controls at EU borders and that the EU should also be able to check authenticity of birth and marriage certificates whose information is used to make passports and visas to enter the EU.
Mosul Today: Iraqi army advances as Turkey tensions rise-[Associated Press]-October 18, 2016-yahoonews
BAGHDAD (AP) — The pace of operations slowed on Tuesday as Iraqi forces began pushing toward larger villages and encountering civilian populations on the second day of a massive operation to retake the northern Iraqi city of Mosul from the Islamic State group.Here is a look at the key developments on the second day of the Mosul offensive:THE ARMY ADVANCES-The army reached the outskirts of al-Hamdaniyah, a historically Christian town also known as Bakhdida, and Qaraqosh, which was once home to tens of thousands. Iraq's federal police pushed toward up to the town of al-Houd, still home to hundreds of people.Kurdish forces known as peshmerga, who captured a handful of villages on the first day of the operation, largely paused to focus on consolidating their gains.More than 25,000 troops have mobilized for the Mosul fight, a massive operation that's expected to take weeks, if not months. Mosul is Iraq's second largest city and the largest urban area controlled by IS.___TURKEY TENSIONS RISE-In Baghdad, thousands of followers of an Iraqi Shiite cleric marched in front of the Turkish Embassy demanding the withdrawal of Turkish troops from a base near Mosul."Get out, Get out, occupier!" and "Yes, yes, for Iraq," chanted the followers of Moqtada al-Sadr.Turkey says the troops are training Iraqi fighters to help retake Mosul, and that they are there with the permission of the Iraqi government. Baghdad denies it granted permission and has ordered the Turks to withdraw — a call Ankara has ignored.Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said the fighters trained at the Bashiqa camp near Mosul were at the forefront of the operation, fighting alongside Kurdish forces.___OBAMA EXPECTS 'DIFFICULT FIGHT'-In Washington, President Barack Obama said retaking Mosul will require a "difficult fight." He said there would be advances and setbacks, but that driving IS from the city "will be another step toward their ultimate destruction."Speaking at the White House alongside Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi, Obama said a top priority for both of their governments is the safety and humanitarian aid for the approximately 1 million people who still live in Mosul and could suffer during the fighting.
Islamic State said to use human shields as coalition advances on Mosul-[By Ahmed Rasheed and Michael Georgy]-October 18, 2016-yahoonews
BAGHDAD/ERBIL (Reuters) - Residents of Mosul said Islamic State was using civilians as human shields as Iraqi and Kurdish forces captured outlying villages in their advance on the jihadists' stronghold.The leader of Islamic State was reported to be among thousands of hardline militants still in the city, suggesting the group would go to great lengths to repel the coalition.With attacking forces still between 20 and 50 km (12-30 miles) away, residents reached by telephone said more than 100 families had started moving from southern and eastern suburbs most exposed to the offensive to more central parts of the city.Islamic State militants were preventing people fleeing Mosul, they said, and one said they directed some towards buildings they had recently used themselves.“It’s quite clear Daesh (Islamic State) has started to use civilians as human shields by allowing families to stay in buildings likely to be targeted by air strikes," said Abu Mahir, who lives near the city's university.Like other residents contacted in the city, he refused to give his full name, but Abdul Rahman Waggaa, a member of the exiled Provincial Council of Nineveh of which Mosul is the capital, corroborated his account to Reuters.The fall of Mosul would signal the defeat of the ultra-hardline Sunni jihadists in Iraq but could also lead to land grabs and sectarian bloodletting between groups which fought one another after the 2003 overthrow of Saddam Hussein.In Washington, Pentagon spokesman Captain Jeff Davis told reporters that it was known that civilians were being used as human shields."This has been going on for several weeks where we've seen civilians being forcibly detained and their movements being prevented where they can't get out of Mosul. They are being held there against their will," he told reporters.Davis described the operation to retake Mosul as "an ugly fight", adding: "But I will tell you we've seen very good progress. It's day one, don't get your hopes up, it's going to be a while."Around 1.5 million people still live in Mosul and the International Organization for Migration said Islamic State may use tens of thousands of residents as human shields to hold onto their last city stronghold in Iraq.The IOM said there was a likelihood of chemical attacks by the jihadists, who had used such weapons previously against Iraqi Kurdish forces.-DIFFICULT FIGHT-Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said safe routes had been secured for civilians who wanted to leave Mosul and it was the duty of the U.S.-led coalition to prevent Islamic State fighters from escaping into nearby Syria.The Syrian army, meanwhile, accused the coalition of planning to allow Islamic State militants to flee across the border.U.S. President Barack Obama said it would be a difficult fight but Islamic State "will be defeated in Mosul".Obama is hoping to bolster his legacy by seizing back as much territory as he can from Islamic State before he leaves office in January.The Iraqi army and Peshmerga forces from autonomous Iraqi Kurdistan began moving towards the city at dawn on Monday under air cover from a U.S.-led coalition set up after Islamic State swept into Iraq from Syria in 2014.Hoshiyar Zebari, a senior Kurdish official, said initial operations succeeded due to close cooperation between the Iraqi government and Kurdish peshmerga fighters, allowing them to clear Islamic State from 9 or 10 villages east of Mosul.“Daesh is disoriented they don’t know whether to expect attacks from the east or west or north,” he told Reuters.On Tuesday attacking forces entered another phase, Zebari said. “It won’t be a spectacular attack on Mosul itself. It will be very cautious. It is a high-risk operation for everybody.”Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, and explosives expert Fawzi Ali Nouimeh were both in the city, according to what Zebari described as "solid" intelligence reports.A total of 20 villages were taken from the militants east, south and southeast of Mosul by early Tuesday, according to statements from the two forces, fighting alongside one another for the first time.-SUICIDE BOMBS-Islamic State said on Monday its fighters had targeted the attacking forces with 10 suicide bombs and that their foes had surrounded five villages but not taken them. None of the reports could be independently verified.Abadi announced the offensive on Monday around two years after Iraq's second-largest city fell to the militants, who exploited the civil war that broke out in Syria in 2011 to seize territory there.The operation had been planned since July with U.S. and other coalition forces and Western and Iraqi officials, mindful of the civil war that followed Saddam's fall, say plans for administering the mainly Sunni city and accommodating those who flee the fighting are in place.The United Nations has said up to a million people could flee the city and that it expected the first big wave in five or six days, indicating fighting would reach the city then.But some residents said Islamic State was making sure people did not leave. One, who gave his name as Anwar, said he fled the Sumer district near Mosul airport, fearing ground forces and aerial bombing."I told Daesh fighters at a checkpoint 'I’m going to stay at my sister’s house'," he said. "A Daesh fighter made calls through his radio to make sure I was not lying and only after the voice on the other side said: 'Let him go', did I let myself breathe."Fighting is expected to take weeks, if not months, as 30,000 government forces, Sunni tribal fighters and Kurdish Peshmerga first encircle the city then attempt to oust between 4,000 and 8,000 Islamic State militants.More than 5,000 U.S. soldiers are also deployed in support missions, as are troops from France, Britain, Canada and other Western nations.The Iraqi army is attacking Mosul on the southern and southeastern fronts, while the Peshmerga carried out their operation to the east and are also deployed north and northwest.The Kurdish forces said they secured "a significant stretch" of the 80 km (50 mile) road between Erbil, their capital, and Mosul, about an hour's drive to the west.Coalition warplanes attacked 17 Islamic State positions in support of the Peshmerga operation in the heavily mined area, the Kurdish statement said, adding that at least four car bombs were destroyed.There was no indication of the number of military or civilian casualties in the Iraqi or Kurdish statements.France said it would co-host a multilateral meeting with Iraq on Oct. 20 to discuss how to stabilise Mosul and its surroundings once Islamic State has been defeated.Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault said the militants were likely to retreat to their Syrian bastion Raqqa, so it was vital to consider how to retake that city too.(Additional reporting by Babak Dehghanpisheh in ERBIL, Ahmed Rasheed and Stephen Kalin in BAGHDAD, Stephanie Nebehay in GENEVA, Warren Strobel, Yara Bayoumy and Jonathan Landay in WASHINGTON; writing by Philippa Fletcher and Giles Elgood, editing by Peter Millership)
Iraq urges US-led coalition to prevent Islamic State escape to Syria-[Reuters]-October 18, 2016-yahoonews
BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said on Tuesday it was the duty of the U.S.-led coalition to prevent Islamic State militants from escaping into nearby Syria from the northern Iraqi city of Mosul.The coalition is providing air and ground support to Iraqi government and Kurdish forces that launched an offensive on Monday to retake Mosul, Islamic State's last major urban stronghold in Iraq which it captured in 2014."It is the responsibility of the coalition to cut the road to Syria for Daesh," Iraqi state television quoted Abadi as saying, using an Arabic acronym for Islamic State. Forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad accused the coalition earlier on Tuesday of planning to allow safe passage into Syria for IS militants fleeing the battle for Mosul.(Reporting by Maher Chmaytelli; editing by Mark Heinrich)
U.N. human rights forum to hold special session on Aleppo on Friday-[Reuters]-October 18, 2016-yahoonews
GENEVA (Reuters) - The U.N. Human Rights Council will hold a special session on the worsening situation in the embattled Syrian city of Aleppo on Friday after a formal request from Britain, a United Nations statement said.Britain made the request on behalf of a core group of 11 Western and Arab countries, including the United States and regional powers backing Syrian rebel forces.Britain's letter to the 47-member forum said the special session was needed "following the most recent deterioration of the human rights situation in Aleppo, and the failure of the Assad regime and its allies to fulfill their international human rights commitments”, the U.N. statement said.Russia and Syria have halted all air strikes on eastern Aleppo, two days ahead of a planned ceasefire aimed at allowing rebels and civilians to leave the city, the Russian defense minister said on Tuesday.Britain and the United States said on Sunday they were considering imposing additional sanctions on Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and his supporters for their actions in the war. The European Union has condemned Russia's air campaign, saying it may be guilty of war crimes, and promised to impose more sanctions on Assad's government.The United Nations said on Tuesday that Russia's plan for a ceasefire will not mean supplies get into eastern Aleppo because Russia, Syria and other groups fighting in the city have not yet given guarantees of safety for aid workers.A U.N. commission of inquiry led by Brazilian expert Paulo Pinheiro has been documenting possible war crimes by all sides in Syria's conflict and collecting testimony from victims and witnesses for five years.The panel said last month that it had a database of some 5,000 detailed interviews and information, some of which is being shared with European governments seeking to prosecute their nationals fighting as foreign militants in Syria.(Reporting by Stephanie Nebehay; Editing by Louise Ireland)

EU shames Russia on Aleppo 'massacre' By Andrew Rettman-oct 18,16-euobserver
BRUSSELS, Today, 08:47-The EU has named Russia as being partly responsible for a “massacre” of “historic” proportions in the Syrian city of Aleppo.“Since the beginning of the offensive by the [Syrian] regime and its allies, notably Russia, the intensity and scale of the aerial bombardment of eastern Aleppo is clearly disproportionate … and may amount to war crimes”, EU foreign ministers said in a joint statement in Luxembourg on Monday (17 October).They implicated Russia in the “deliberate targeting of hospitals, medical personnel”, in the “targeting of a UN humanitarian convoy on 19 September”, and in the use of “starvation of civilians … as a tactic of war”.They said the Russian-led air strikes had used illegal munitions, such as “cluster bombs”, and that Russia’s ally, Syrian president Bashar al-Assad, was guilty of “confirmed use of chemical weapons”.They called for an “immediate cessation of hostilities” so that aid convoys could reach the combat zone.They did not threaten new sanctions against Russia, but they said they would add extra names of Syrian regime members and entities to their blacklist.Russia, half-way through the EU ministers’ talks, announced an eight-hour ceasefire in Aleppo on Thursday, but the EU’s foreign policy chief, Federica Mogherini, said aid agencies needed at least 12 hours to get in and out.Jean-Marc Ayrault, the French foreign minister, said EU states would not use military force to halt the killing.But he said “Europe must mobilise” its “political force, moral force” because “if Assad achieves his aim, which is the fall of Aleppo and the massacre of the population, it will be a stain on the history of Europe”.“We said clearly to Russia that you can stop this massacre”, he said.Stefan de Mistura, the UN’s special envoy on Syria, said there were 100,000 children in the line of fire and that people had had no aid for one month.“Between now and December, if we don’t find a solution for Aleppo, Aleppo will not be there anymore”, he said, adding, like France's Ayrault, that “history will judge us” if the Russian-Syrian campaign goes on.-Russia sanctions-Britain and the US had, prior to the Luxembourg meeting, said they were considering additional economic sanctions against Russia.Lithuania's foreign minister, Linas Linkevicius, joined them on Monday, telling the RFE-RFL news agency that sanctions were the EU’s “only leverage” and that without them “we cannot expect any change of the situation” in Syria.EU leaders will discuss Russia relations and whether to extend the life of existing economic measures, imposed over Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, at a dinner on Thursday in Brussels.Diplomats said events in Aleppo had made the extension of existing measures all-but a done deal, but Germany and Austria said on Monday that they were “sceptical” about additional restrictions.“I don't see how sanctions with a possible long-term effect are supposed to contribute to improving supplies to the civilian population [in Aleppo] … So I'm not the only one who, in this case, is rather skeptical about sanctions”, German foreign minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said.Austria’s Sebastian Kurz said: “We do not need a further escalation”.An EU source said Mogherini was also in the sceptics' camp. She "thought the EU needs to be engaged with everybody, and wants a role for the EU, so not to alienate Russia”, the source said.-Deaf ears-Russian statements the same day indicated it would not change path.Sergei Rudskoy, a defence spokesman, told the Tass news agency that even the eight-hour ceasefire “makes no sense” because it would help jihadist fighters, such as Jabhat al-Nusra, to regroup.Sergei Ryabkov, a deputy prime minister, said Western criticism on Syria was due to US geopolitics. “If something does not suit the United States in Russia’s behaviour, shouts about sanctions begin”, he said.Dmitry Peskov, the Kremlin spokesman, also ruled out any change in Ukraine.Russia, France, Germany, and Ukraine had spoken of holding a summit in Berlin on 19 October - one day before the EU leaders’ talks on Russia in Brussels.But Peskov said on Monday the chances of the Berlin meeting were “next to nil” because aides had not completed preparatory work.
Iraq fighting could bring jihadists to Europe, commissioner warns-By Eric Maurice-oct 18,16-euobserver
BRUSSELS, Today, 08:47-The Iraqi army's attempt to recapture the city of Mosul from the Islamic State militant group could spark a return of jihadist fighters to Europe, the EU security union commissioner has warned."This is a threat we must be prepared to face," Julian King said in an interview to Germany's Die Welt published on Tuesday.Mosul, part of Iraq's autonomous Kurd region, has been a stronghold of the militant group since June 2014. A large-scale operation was launched on Monday (17 October) by Iraqi and Kurdish forces to retake the 1.5 million strong city.On Tuesday morning, Kurdish regional leader Masoud Barzani said 200 sq km of land had already been taken.King however said that he did not expect a "mass exodus" of IS fighters if the city falls, but that "even a small number represents a serious threat".He said around 2,500 fighters in the Mosul area had come from Europe, and that past experience, especially in the Afghan war, shows that not all foreign fighters go back to their country after they are defeated."Some are killed in combat or look for another fighting scene," he said.The security commissioner, who took office at the end of September, said the EU should "give terrorists always less opportunities to act".He said it was currently "too easy" to dodge passport controls at EU borders and that the EU should also be able to check authenticity of birth and marriage certificates whose information is used to make passports and visas to enter the EU.
Mosul Today: Iraqi army advances as Turkey tensions rise-[Associated Press]-October 18, 2016-yahoonews
BAGHDAD (AP) — The pace of operations slowed on Tuesday as Iraqi forces began pushing toward larger villages and encountering civilian populations on the second day of a massive operation to retake the northern Iraqi city of Mosul from the Islamic State group.Here is a look at the key developments on the second day of the Mosul offensive:THE ARMY ADVANCES-The army reached the outskirts of al-Hamdaniyah, a historically Christian town also known as Bakhdida, and Qaraqosh, which was once home to tens of thousands. Iraq's federal police pushed toward up to the town of al-Houd, still home to hundreds of people.Kurdish forces known as peshmerga, who captured a handful of villages on the first day of the operation, largely paused to focus on consolidating their gains.More than 25,000 troops have mobilized for the Mosul fight, a massive operation that's expected to take weeks, if not months. Mosul is Iraq's second largest city and the largest urban area controlled by IS.___TURKEY TENSIONS RISE-In Baghdad, thousands of followers of an Iraqi Shiite cleric marched in front of the Turkish Embassy demanding the withdrawal of Turkish troops from a base near Mosul."Get out, Get out, occupier!" and "Yes, yes, for Iraq," chanted the followers of Moqtada al-Sadr.Turkey says the troops are training Iraqi fighters to help retake Mosul, and that they are there with the permission of the Iraqi government. Baghdad denies it granted permission and has ordered the Turks to withdraw — a call Ankara has ignored.Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said the fighters trained at the Bashiqa camp near Mosul were at the forefront of the operation, fighting alongside Kurdish forces.___OBAMA EXPECTS 'DIFFICULT FIGHT'-In Washington, President Barack Obama said retaking Mosul will require a "difficult fight." He said there would be advances and setbacks, but that driving IS from the city "will be another step toward their ultimate destruction."Speaking at the White House alongside Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi, Obama said a top priority for both of their governments is the safety and humanitarian aid for the approximately 1 million people who still live in Mosul and could suffer during the fighting.
Islamic State said to use human shields as coalition advances on Mosul-[By Ahmed Rasheed and Michael Georgy]-October 18, 2016-yahoonews
BAGHDAD/ERBIL (Reuters) - Residents of Mosul said Islamic State was using civilians as human shields as Iraqi and Kurdish forces captured outlying villages in their advance on the jihadists' stronghold.The leader of Islamic State was reported to be among thousands of hardline militants still in the city, suggesting the group would go to great lengths to repel the coalition.With attacking forces still between 20 and 50 km (12-30 miles) away, residents reached by telephone said more than 100 families had started moving from southern and eastern suburbs most exposed to the offensive to more central parts of the city.Islamic State militants were preventing people fleeing Mosul, they said, and one said they directed some towards buildings they had recently used themselves.“It’s quite clear Daesh (Islamic State) has started to use civilians as human shields by allowing families to stay in buildings likely to be targeted by air strikes," said Abu Mahir, who lives near the city's university.Like other residents contacted in the city, he refused to give his full name, but Abdul Rahman Waggaa, a member of the exiled Provincial Council of Nineveh of which Mosul is the capital, corroborated his account to Reuters.The fall of Mosul would signal the defeat of the ultra-hardline Sunni jihadists in Iraq but could also lead to land grabs and sectarian bloodletting between groups which fought one another after the 2003 overthrow of Saddam Hussein.In Washington, Pentagon spokesman Captain Jeff Davis told reporters that it was known that civilians were being used as human shields."This has been going on for several weeks where we've seen civilians being forcibly detained and their movements being prevented where they can't get out of Mosul. They are being held there against their will," he told reporters.Davis described the operation to retake Mosul as "an ugly fight", adding: "But I will tell you we've seen very good progress. It's day one, don't get your hopes up, it's going to be a while."Around 1.5 million people still live in Mosul and the International Organization for Migration said Islamic State may use tens of thousands of residents as human shields to hold onto their last city stronghold in Iraq.The IOM said there was a likelihood of chemical attacks by the jihadists, who had used such weapons previously against Iraqi Kurdish forces.-DIFFICULT FIGHT-Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said safe routes had been secured for civilians who wanted to leave Mosul and it was the duty of the U.S.-led coalition to prevent Islamic State fighters from escaping into nearby Syria.The Syrian army, meanwhile, accused the coalition of planning to allow Islamic State militants to flee across the border.U.S. President Barack Obama said it would be a difficult fight but Islamic State "will be defeated in Mosul".Obama is hoping to bolster his legacy by seizing back as much territory as he can from Islamic State before he leaves office in January.The Iraqi army and Peshmerga forces from autonomous Iraqi Kurdistan began moving towards the city at dawn on Monday under air cover from a U.S.-led coalition set up after Islamic State swept into Iraq from Syria in 2014.Hoshiyar Zebari, a senior Kurdish official, said initial operations succeeded due to close cooperation between the Iraqi government and Kurdish peshmerga fighters, allowing them to clear Islamic State from 9 or 10 villages east of Mosul.“Daesh is disoriented they don’t know whether to expect attacks from the east or west or north,” he told Reuters.On Tuesday attacking forces entered another phase, Zebari said. “It won’t be a spectacular attack on Mosul itself. It will be very cautious. It is a high-risk operation for everybody.”Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, and explosives expert Fawzi Ali Nouimeh were both in the city, according to what Zebari described as "solid" intelligence reports.A total of 20 villages were taken from the militants east, south and southeast of Mosul by early Tuesday, according to statements from the two forces, fighting alongside one another for the first time.-SUICIDE BOMBS-Islamic State said on Monday its fighters had targeted the attacking forces with 10 suicide bombs and that their foes had surrounded five villages but not taken them. None of the reports could be independently verified.Abadi announced the offensive on Monday around two years after Iraq's second-largest city fell to the militants, who exploited the civil war that broke out in Syria in 2011 to seize territory there.The operation had been planned since July with U.S. and other coalition forces and Western and Iraqi officials, mindful of the civil war that followed Saddam's fall, say plans for administering the mainly Sunni city and accommodating those who flee the fighting are in place.The United Nations has said up to a million people could flee the city and that it expected the first big wave in five or six days, indicating fighting would reach the city then.But some residents said Islamic State was making sure people did not leave. One, who gave his name as Anwar, said he fled the Sumer district near Mosul airport, fearing ground forces and aerial bombing."I told Daesh fighters at a checkpoint 'I’m going to stay at my sister’s house'," he said. "A Daesh fighter made calls through his radio to make sure I was not lying and only after the voice on the other side said: 'Let him go', did I let myself breathe."Fighting is expected to take weeks, if not months, as 30,000 government forces, Sunni tribal fighters and Kurdish Peshmerga first encircle the city then attempt to oust between 4,000 and 8,000 Islamic State militants.More than 5,000 U.S. soldiers are also deployed in support missions, as are troops from France, Britain, Canada and other Western nations.The Iraqi army is attacking Mosul on the southern and southeastern fronts, while the Peshmerga carried out their operation to the east and are also deployed north and northwest.The Kurdish forces said they secured "a significant stretch" of the 80 km (50 mile) road between Erbil, their capital, and Mosul, about an hour's drive to the west.Coalition warplanes attacked 17 Islamic State positions in support of the Peshmerga operation in the heavily mined area, the Kurdish statement said, adding that at least four car bombs were destroyed.There was no indication of the number of military or civilian casualties in the Iraqi or Kurdish statements.France said it would co-host a multilateral meeting with Iraq on Oct. 20 to discuss how to stabilise Mosul and its surroundings once Islamic State has been defeated.Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault said the militants were likely to retreat to their Syrian bastion Raqqa, so it was vital to consider how to retake that city too.(Additional reporting by Babak Dehghanpisheh in ERBIL, Ahmed Rasheed and Stephen Kalin in BAGHDAD, Stephanie Nebehay in GENEVA, Warren Strobel, Yara Bayoumy and Jonathan Landay in WASHINGTON; writing by Philippa Fletcher and Giles Elgood, editing by Peter Millership)
Iraq urges US-led coalition to prevent Islamic State escape to Syria-[Reuters]-October 18, 2016-yahoonews
BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said on Tuesday it was the duty of the U.S.-led coalition to prevent Islamic State militants from escaping into nearby Syria from the northern Iraqi city of Mosul.The coalition is providing air and ground support to Iraqi government and Kurdish forces that launched an offensive on Monday to retake Mosul, Islamic State's last major urban stronghold in Iraq which it captured in 2014."It is the responsibility of the coalition to cut the road to Syria for Daesh," Iraqi state television quoted Abadi as saying, using an Arabic acronym for Islamic State. Forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad accused the coalition earlier on Tuesday of planning to allow safe passage into Syria for IS militants fleeing the battle for Mosul.(Reporting by Maher Chmaytelli; editing by Mark Heinrich)
U.N. human rights forum to hold special session on Aleppo on Friday-[Reuters]-October 18, 2016-yahoonews
GENEVA (Reuters) - The U.N. Human Rights Council will hold a special session on the worsening situation in the embattled Syrian city of Aleppo on Friday after a formal request from Britain, a United Nations statement said.Britain made the request on behalf of a core group of 11 Western and Arab countries, including the United States and regional powers backing Syrian rebel forces.Britain's letter to the 47-member forum said the special session was needed "following the most recent deterioration of the human rights situation in Aleppo, and the failure of the Assad regime and its allies to fulfill their international human rights commitments”, the U.N. statement said.Russia and Syria have halted all air strikes on eastern Aleppo, two days ahead of a planned ceasefire aimed at allowing rebels and civilians to leave the city, the Russian defense minister said on Tuesday.Britain and the United States said on Sunday they were considering imposing additional sanctions on Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and his supporters for their actions in the war. The European Union has condemned Russia's air campaign, saying it may be guilty of war crimes, and promised to impose more sanctions on Assad's government.The United Nations said on Tuesday that Russia's plan for a ceasefire will not mean supplies get into eastern Aleppo because Russia, Syria and other groups fighting in the city have not yet given guarantees of safety for aid workers.A U.N. commission of inquiry led by Brazilian expert Paulo Pinheiro has been documenting possible war crimes by all sides in Syria's conflict and collecting testimony from victims and witnesses for five years.The panel said last month that it had a database of some 5,000 detailed interviews and information, some of which is being shared with European governments seeking to prosecute their nationals fighting as foreign militants in Syria.(Reporting by Stephanie Nebehay; Editing by Louise Ireland)
