IS sniper tunnels captured

Freelance reporter Fazel Hawramy, who is providing excellent updates from east of Mosul, reports Kurdish forces have captured a network of tunnels used by IS snipers in the Khazir area - the same area as the Rudaw video showing intense clashes between peshmerga and IS militants. Another video, which is available with a bit of a Twitter search, shows an IS fighter emerge from a tunnel surrounded by peshmerga before apparently detonating a suicide vest. MEE has chosen not to publish the video.
