BEIRUT, LEBANON (2:45 P.M.) – It took only 24 hours, but the Iraqi Armed Forces liberated the strategic Mosul International Airport from the Islamic State (ISIS) terrorists this afternoon.
Led by the Federal Police, the Iraqi Armed Forces stormed the northern sector of this provincial installation, overrunning the terrorist defenses after a short battle this morning.
With their defenses compromised, the Islamic State forces held on just long enough for their comrades to successfully retreat from the airport before it was completely under the control of the Iraqi Armed Forces.
ISIS captured the Mosul International Airport in the summer of 2014; however, their reign over this installation has finally come to end, thanks in large part to the sacrifice of the Iraqi Armed Forces.
