Battle for Mosul, Assault On ISIS Moving Quicker Than Planned. - Watch LIVE 

 The battle to take back the key Iraqi city of Mosul from ISIS occupiers entered its fourth day on Thursday, as Iraq’s Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said that the operation to drive ISIS from the second-largest city in the country was progressing faster than military planners had anticipated.

 “The fighting forces are currently pushing forward toward the town more quickly than we thought and more quickly, certainly, than we had established in our planned campaign,” Abadi said Thursday morning. “Our road forward is a long one, and we need to continue to work to destroy terrorism and out and end to this kind of destruction.”




About 100 United States troops, categorized as “advisors” as well as “air controllers” were marching with the combined Iraqi and Kurdish offensive force, according to Pentagon spokesperson and Navy Captain Jeff Davis.
But Davis added that the U.S. soldiers were “always behind the forward line of troops.”

The reclusive ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, along with one of the terror group’s top bomb creators, Fawzi Ali Nouimeh, are believed to be hiding somewhere in Mosul, according to what Kurdish official Hoshiyar Zebari called “solid” intelligence information, the news agency Reuters reported.
