Al-Sabah reported that during the course of the upcoming military operation, the troops are expected to approach Mosul, the largest Iraqi city to have fallen to Daesh during their previous offensive.
On Tuesday, Hadi al-Amiri, leader of the Badr Organization, an Iranian-sponsored Shiite militia and political party, met with Karim Sinjari, Interior Minister of the Kurdish Regional Government and Iraq Defense Ministry officials in Kirkuk.
During the meeting, they agreed on a plan to win back the territories located between Kirkuk and the Baiji district right down to the al-Shirqat district of Saladin Province in northern Iraq, Reuters reported, referring to local sources.
The terrorist group Daesh is now believed to be one of the major threats to global security. Daesh terrorists have managed to capture huge areas in Iraq and Syria over the past three years.
In addition, they are trying to spread their influence in North Africa, including Libya. Daesh reportedly numbers between 50,000 and 200,000 terrorists and currently controls about 90,000 kilometers of land.
