An estimated 150,000 people may have fled Mosul (http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-27778112), Iraq's second-largest city with an estimated population of 1.8 million, as Islamist militants seized key government sites there on Tuesday
Soldiers with Iraq's military laid down their ******* and stripped off their uniforms, the New York Times reported (http://www.nytimes.com/2014/06/11/world/middleeast/militants-in-mosul.html), effectively leaving control of the city in the hands of militants with the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIS) — a group even Al Qaeda has deemed (http://thinkprogress.org/world/2014/06/10/3446907/isis-iraq-mosul/) too radical and unpredictable
Iraqi uniforms strewn on the road in Mosul. Troops discarded them & fled. The city is **w under ISIS control. pic.twitter.com/3QvMiobHf8 (http://t.co/3QvMiobHf8) Read more...
