Deadly Fighting Breaks Out In Iraq's Mosul -- Al Jazeera
Local journalists say 20 people killed as an army base and military posts are attacked by armed men.
Gun battles and car bombs targeting the military in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul have killed 20 people and injured over 60, according to local journalists.
Clashes were reported in 12 districts of the city as an army base and military posts were attacked.
The violence comes a day after fighters launched an offensive on Samarra, also in the country’s north, killing seven members of the security forces and taking control of some areas of the city, officials said.
The assault on Samarra, a Sunni-dominated city 95 kilometres from Baghdad, started with dozens of gunmen driving into the city in SUVs and attacking security checkpoints and police stations on Thursday morning.
Reinforcements were sent in and local authorities imposed a curfew.
