Tikrit

Abbas al-Saadi is a soldier and by rights he should be stationed near Tikrit, where his unit is involved fighting ISIS.

What happens if the ground offensive is stalled and they are not able to retake Fallujah or Tikrit?

They are the victims of Shia death squads in Samarra and Tikrit.

If he gets his way, U.S. drones may soon be providing air cover to his sectarian armies in Mosul and Tikrit.

Locals also know that ISIS needs more fighters in places like Tikrit, Anbar, Diyala and toward Kirkuk.
