Dramatic coup splits world's most powerful terror group in Mosul, all 58 rebels killed by ISIS, buried in mass grave
Saturday 15th October, 2016 - Islamic State executed 58 people suspected of taking part in an uprising in Mosul. The terror group reportedly killed the rebels. The bodies were then buried in a mass grave in the city outskirts, local people who witnessed the incident said.

The rebel group under a group commander’s leadership, was reportedly plotting to switch sides and weaken ISIS resistance against Iraqi capital to government forces, Iraqi security officials said. According to the local residents and expert on ISIS affairs Hisham al-Hashimi, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was leading the plot and was among the killed. Similar accounts were suggested by Colonel Ahmed al-Taie, who is posted at Mosul's Nineveh province Operation Command's military intelligence. The executions were ahead of a massive ground assault by the Iraqi forces, Kurdish security forces, Shi'ite and Sunni irregular units air-supported by United States. Iraqi officials suggested that the operation could begin this month.

According to al-Hishami, rebels’ operation was disclosed following a text message related to weapon transfer found in one of the rebel’s phone. The insurgent was then tortured until he admitted three weapon caches were hidden across the city. Iraqi Counterterrorism Service spokesman Sabah al-Numani said, “Those were Daesh members who turned against the group in Mosul. This is a clear sign that the terrorist organisation has started to lose support not only from the population, but even from its own members.” “After the failed coup, Daesh withdrew the special identity cards it issued for its local commanders, to prevent them from fleeing Mosul with their families,” said Colonel al-Taie.

One of the residents whose relative was amongst the executed in the area informed, “Some of the executed relatives sent old women to ask about the bodies. Daesh rebuked them and told them no bodies, no graves, those traitors are apostates and it is forbidden to bury them in Muslim cemeteries.” Following the incident ISIS has appointed a leader of a sniper unit, Muhsin Abdul Kareem Oghlu to support Ahmed Khalaf Agab al-Jabouri, the governor of Mosul to keep control. Mosul is the largest and last ISIS defense that has a population of over two million.

While armed units would destroy the Iraqi half of the ISIS, United Nations fears the biggest humanitarian crisis that can uproot over a million people. ISIS has a history of using civilians as shields while defending the territory. Mosul residents have however been expressing their discontent with ISIS rule. They have been using spray painting to write Arabic letter ‘meem’ (M) for ‘moqawema’ meaning ‘resistance’. ISIS took over the city’s control back in 2014 but since then they have lost Ramadi in Iraq and Deir al-Zour in Syria following joint offensive strikes by Syria and Iraqi forces.

Turkey-backed Syrian rebels attack Islamic State's Dabiq: rebel
October 15, 2016 - Turkey-backed Syrian rebels began an attack on Islamic State's symbolically potent stronghold of Dabiq in northwestern Syria on Saturday, a rebel commander said, taking territory that has all but cut it off according to a war monitor.

Turkey's President Tayyip Erdogan on Saturday said the rebels were advancing on Dabiq and a Turkish security source said they had that morning cleared the militants from the hamlet of al-Ghaylaniyeh. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britain-based war monitor, said the rebels had also taken the villages of Irshaf and Ghaitun, which would all but cut off Dabiq and another large village, Soran, in an isolated pocket surrounded by insurgents. Dabiq is symbolically important to the jihadist group because it is the site of an apocalyptic Islamic prophesy, and Islamic State has stationed around 1,200 of its fighters there said the Observatory, a Britain-based war monitor.

Euphrates Shield, the campaign by Turkey and allied Syrian rebels to clear Islamic State from areas along the border between the two countries began in August. A rebel commander in the Euphrates Shield operation said the attack on Dabiq had started on Saturday morning and the Observatory said the rebels backed by Turkish tanks and warplanes had begun their attack on the village's environs.

However, the Turkish military sources said the operation was ongoing. "The operation for Dabiq started 10 days ago. We started the effort to take control of the region from the south. Daesh (Islamic States) targets are being hit by Turkish fighter jets and artillery" one of them said. According to Islamic tradition, Dabiq will be the site of a final battle between Muslims and infidels heralding Doomsday, a prophesy that the jihadist group had encouraged its supporters to regard as imminent and named one of its publications "Dabiq".

However, in a recent edition of its al-Naba online publication, Islamic State appeared to step back from that position, saying that the coming battle for Dabiq between it and the Turkey-backed rebels was not the one in the prophesy. While Euphrates Shield has pushed Islamic State from its last foothold on Syria's Turkish border, a longer campaign by the U.S.-backed, Kurd-dominated Syrian Democratic Forces has recaptured swathes of territory from the group since last year. Islamic State also faces an expected assault on Iraq's Mosul, the largest and most important city it has held since its lightning advance across huge tracts of Syria and Iraq in summer 2014.

Coup against ISIS in Mosul fails...

Al-Baghdadi aide among dozens executed by ISIS for rebellion plot
Oct 14, 2016‎ – Islamic State has crushed a rebellion plot in Mosul, led by one of the group's commanders who aimed to switch sides and help deliver the caliphate's Iraqi capital to government forces, residents and Iraqi security officials said.

Islamic State (IS) executed 58 people suspected of taking part in the plot after it was uncovered last week. Residents, who spoke to Reuters from some of the few locations in the city that have phone service, said the plotters were killed by drowning and their bodies were buried in a mass grave in a wasteland on the outskirts of the city. Among them was a local aide of IS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, who led the plotters, according to matching accounts given by five residents, by Hisham al-Hashimi, an expert on IS affairs that advises the government in Baghdad and by colonel Ahmed al-Taie, from Mosul’s Nineveh province Operation Command’s military intelligence.

Reuters is not publishing the name of the plot leader to avoid increasing the safety risk for his family, nor the identities of those inside the city who spoke about the plot. The aim of the plotters was to undermine Islamic State’s defense of Mosul in the upcoming fight, expected to be the biggest battle in Iraq since the 2003 U.S.-led invasion. Mosul is the last major stronghold of Islamic State in Iraq. With a pre-war population of around 2 million, it is at least five times the size of any other city Islamic State has controlled. Iraqi officials say a massive ground assault could begin this month, backed by U.S. air power, Kurdish security forces and Shi’ite and Sunni irregular units.

A successful offensive would effectively destroy the Iraqi half of the caliphate that the group declared when it swept through northern Iraq in 2014. But the United Nations says it could also create the biggest humanitarian crisis in the world, in a worst case scenario uprooting 1 million people. Islamic State fighters are dug in to defend the city, and have a history of using civilians as human shields when defending territory. According to Hashimi, the dissidents were arrested after one of them was caught with a message on his phone mentioning a transfer of weapons. He confessed during interrogation that weapons were being hidden in three locations, to be used in a rebellion to support the Iraqi army when it closes in on Mosul.

IS raided the three houses used to hide the weapons on Oct. 4, Hashimi said. “Those were Daesh members who turned against the group in Mosul,” said Iraqi Counter-terrorism Service spokesman Sabah al-Numani in Baghdad, using an Arabic acronym for Islamic State. “This is a clear sign that the terrorist organization has started to lose support not only from the population, but even from its own members.”
