| | Mosul - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Some of the villages and towns around Mosul with its large Kurdish population were significantly affected by the anti-Kurdish campaigns of the deposed former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, particularly during the 1990s when the Kurdish population mounted an unsuccessful revolt against the regime. | | | Today the population of Mosul is principally Arabic, but with a large minority of Kurdish, Christian Assyrians and a smaller minority of Turkomans [2]. | | | Despite the program Mosul and its surrounding villages remained home to a mixture of Arabs, Kurds, Syriacs, Turkomans, a few Jews, and isolated populations of Yazidis. |

| | Before the war, Mosul — a predominantly Sunni Arab city of more than 1 million people — was a stronghold for Saddam supporters and home to many members of his army. | | | Mosul recently saw an upsurge in violence where insurgents overpowered police then looted and burned some police stations. | | | But Mosul's insurgents — believed to include loyalists of Saddam Hussein and militant Islamic groups — have wasted no time in making clear that anything related to the vote could become a target. |

| | Mosul, which has a majority Sunni Arab population, was a stronghold of the former regime and provided thousands of officers for Saddam's army and security apparatus. | | | American troops and Iraqi security forces launched a major operation to regain control of Mosul yesterday, after a week of lawlessness which saw large parts of Iraq's third city fall under the control of militants determined to open a new front in the insurgency. | | | He said that there was growing evidence that a "resurgent Ba'ath party, and a number of small Islamic extremist groups from places like Falluja" were behind the well-orchestrated attacks, which he likened to a coup. |

| | In practice, however, in a society whose increasingly inadequate national institutions are dissolving under the pressure of a sustained insurgency, the Kurdish political parties and their peshmerga fighters have maintained tight discipline -- as well as loyalty to the American presence. | | | Pire would not predict how long the fighting would last in Mosul, or whether the Kurds would be forced to call upon thousands of peshmerga reserves in the city -- a move that could escalate ethnic clashes between Arabs and Kurds. | | | That makes Pire and his soldiers in Mosul an undeniable fact on the ground, part of the patchwork of locally powerful groups across Iraq that exercises control and provides security. |

| | Mosul – a city 225 miles northwest of Baghdad that's an ethnic patchwork of Sunni Arabs, Kurds, Christians and other communities – was largely calm early last year after offering little resistance during the U.S.-led March 2003 invasion. | | | Many of the insurgents were believed to have arrived in Mosul from the Sunni Triangle city of Fallujah after the U.S.-led assault on the former rebel stronghold in early November. | | | Violence in Mosul is further fueled by a moribund economy and joblessness among young men, who end up working as guns-for-hire for insurgents. |
