ISIS block all Mobile Phones in Largest Iraqi city they control

ISIS militants have blocked all mobile phone networks in the largest Iraqi city they control, as they fear people may tip off coalition forces about their whereabouts. 

 

This move comes in the wake of a string of recent victories by Iraqi troops, backed by Shiite and Kurdish militiamen. 

 

 Residents in Mosul described a scene of 'chaos' and paralysis' in the city after the militants announced their decision on their Mosul-based radio network. 

Businesses were at a standstill as residents tried to understand what was happening, they said. Some are still able to access the Internet, which operates under a different network.
