Sunni muslim militants
from the Islamic state group of Iraq in our day detained Iraq’s largest dam,
placing them in power of enormous power and water reserve and access to the
river that runs through the heart of Baghdad.
After a week of
attempts, the armed gunmen effectively stormed the Mosul dam and forced Kurdish
armed forces to depart from the area residents living near the dam told The Associated Press. They spoke namelessly
for security concerns.
The Islamic state
group today a statement online, confirming that they have power over of the dam and vowed to
continue “the march in all directions” adding that it not give up the grand caliphate
project.”
The statement could
not be established but it was posted on a site recurrently used by the group.
Officials from the sovereign
Kurdish region that has the only forces conflicting the extremists in the north
did not retort the calls.
The Al Qaida breakaway
group since its plan of an Islamic state in province it pedals in Iraq and Syria,
imposing its own ruthless elucidation of Islamic law.
Iraqi National military,
Kurds and associated Sunni tribal militiamen have been under pressure to dislocate
the Islamic state militants with little obvious hit.
The Mosul dam or Saddam
dam as it was formerly known is located north of Iraq’s second largest city
Mosul, which felt to the militants on 10th June. Fighting intensified
in the region today after the nearby towns of Zumar and Sinjar fell to the militants.
Seizing of the dams
and reservoirs gives the militants power over water and electricity that they
could use to help built support in the terrain they now rule by providing the sparse
resources to residents. Or they could sell the resources as a profitable source
of revenue.
