MOSUL, IRAQ ¨C Shop-owner Adnan dragged himself from the rubble for the second day in a row, as again the house where he was sheltering was bombed in a U.S.-led campaign to uproot the last Islamic State militants from Mosul.
¡°Daesh (Islamic State) forced us out of our home, so we moved to a relative¡¯s house nearby. Yesterday the house was bombed,¡± he said after being evacuated by the army Monday. ¡°We moved to my cousin¡¯s house, and this morning it was also bombed.¡±
Adnan, who has shrapnel lodged in his skull from an earlier mortar attack, said he survived, with others, by hiding in the houses¡¯ underground cellars.
