In a relevant development on Saturday, unidentified assailants gunned down two terrorists in Mosul city center.

The unknown gunmen killed the ISIL terrorists with handguns equipped with silencers in Bab al-Sara market in Mosul city center.

Al-Sharqat has been under ISIL’s control since June 2014.

In early May, the Iraqi army and popular forces continued their advances in Anbar province in Western Iraq, and killed over half a dozen ISIL terrorists, including one of their most wanted leaders.
