« Israel Proposal to Fight Terror | Main | Terror in Nigeria » ISIS Shuts Off Phones
By Micah Halpern
Friday November 28, 2014 I've Been Thinking: Mosul is a city of 2 million people. It is the second largest city in Iraq. And Mosul is controlled by ISIS. This week ISIS turned off all cell phone and telephone service in Mosul. Can you imagine a city without phones in November of 2014? ISIS believes that the people of Mosul were informing on their activities to members of the Iraqi army. And ISIS believes that the information was being used to attack ISIS targets. So the best option to stymie the flow of information was to cut off the source --- the phone. Interestingly, the internet system in Mosul is still up and running. That system uses a different network and has not been affected. I would guess that the ISIS will figure that out pretty soon and that internet will soon be turned off too. And when that happens, the city of Mosul will really be closed down, shut off, out of contact, groping around in the dark. Read my latest book THUGS. It's easy. Just click.
