Barzani and Abbadi in strategical talks over Iraq

Kurdistan Region President Massoud Barzani held strategical talks to liberate Mosul with Iraqi Prime Minister Haidar al-Abbadi at the security conference held in Munich.

Their discussions on coordinating positions to eliminate Islamic State terrorists from key cities as Mosul, Kirkuk and the Nineveh province came after anti-Islamic State forces have been trying to weaken targets ahead of an anticipated fight to wrest Iraq's second largest city from the terror group.

Kurdish forces, which protect a Kurdish autonomous region in northern Iraq, recently have been trying to surround Mosul to cut off ISIS's lines of supply from Syria, setting up what could be an eventual assault to try to expel ISIS.

Barzani added that the region and Iraq should encourage tactics between Peshmerga and the Iraqi army to effectively wipe out extremists.
