Islamic State jams mobiles in Mosul
(MENAFN- Arab News) BAGHDAD: Residents in the militant-held Iraqi city of Mosul say militants with the Islamic State group have blocked all mobile phone networks in the town.
Several residents said the move is to prevent residents from revealing the location of militants in town to US coalition forces conducting airstrikes in the area. The militants informed residents of their decision via their Mosul-based radio network Wednesday. All residents spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisal.
Some are still able to access the Internet which operates under a different network.
The militants seized the city in June. The US began launching airstrikes on Aug. 8 and has conducted at least 22 strikes around the city of Mosul alone.
