Iraq premier urges ISIS in Mosul to surrender

Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi has appeared on state television, wearing combat fatigues and urging ISIS fighters in Mosul to surrender.

 

He says, "we will close in on Daesh from all angles and God willing, we will cut the snake's head." He used the Arabic acronym for the group. He spoke from the town of Shura, south of Mosul, where he was visiting troops on Monday.

 

Al-Abadi says ISIS "will have no way out, and no way to escape," urging the fighters to give up as the Iraqi military stands poised to enter the city. He adds that "either they die, or surrender."
