Maliki Arrives In Mosul To Oversee Battle
Mosul, May 14, (VOI)- Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki arrived in Mosul on Wednesday to supervise Operation Lion’s Roar, waged last Saturday to track down al-Qaeda gunmen, a security source said.
“Al-Maliki and National Security Adviser Muwafaq al-Rubaei arrived in Mosul to directly oversee the military operation,” the source told Aswat al-Iraq – Voices of Iraq (VOI) on condition of anonymity.
On Saturday, the commander of Ninewa operations, Staff Lieutenant General Riyadh Jalal, announced the commencement of Operation Lion’s Roar with the aim of tracking down al-Qaeda operatives, following the arrival of “substantial” military reinforcements from Baghdad.
Mosul, the capital city of Ninewa province, lies 405 km north of the Iraqi capital Baghdad.
