Iraq Vs Isis

A fire set by Islamic State militants at a sulfur mine near the city of Mosul in recent days sent plumes of noxious gases over the battlefield, sickening hundreds of civilians and forcing Iraqi and U.S. troops to wear protective masks, health and military officials said on Saturday.

The United States will send around 600 new troops to Iraq to assist local forces in the battle to retake Mosul from Islamic State that is expected later this year, US and Iraqi officials said on Wednesday.

The United Nations said on Monday Iraqi government efforts to speed up execution of ISIS terrorists following a Baghdad bomb attack that killed 324 people could result in innocent people being put to death.
