Ash Carter fails to sell Turkish role in Mosul operation to Iraq, Kurds
DEBKAfile was founded by a team of journalists in June 2000 as an independent Internet Web site, providing an intelligence and security news service. October 23, 2016, 8:33 PM (IDT)
US Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter was unable to persuade either the Iraqi government or Kurdish leaders to allow the Turkish army a role in the Mosul operation, as vociferously demanded by President Tayyip Erdogan. In the last 48 hours, Carter met their leaders in Baghdad and the Kurdish regional capital of Irbil. DEBKAfile’s military sources report that a Turkish expeditionary force of around 1,000 men has crossed into Iraq and is standing by near Bashiqua, north of Mosul. The force consists of elite troops, assault helicopters and artillery. Carter tried explaining, to no avail, that cutting Turkish troops into the battle for Mosul would open the way for their participation in an offensive against ISIS’ Syrian base at Raqqa, which he is seeking to launch alongside the Mosul operation.
Our unique angle on these subjects – and strong intelligence dimension – has earned DEBKAfile a global reputation and a steady readership – which skyrockets in times of crisis.
