Iraqi Army Find ISIS Tunnel Network In Fallujah

A maze of terror tunnels excavated by ISIS have been discovered by Iraqi security forces in the city of Fallujah. The tunnels were dug under streets and between houses to provide cover for Islamic State militants. Fars News reports: The tunnels were over 1 kilometer long and the ISIL had cultivated plants on the roof and entrance of the tunnels in order to camouflage them against Iraqi airstrikes. The discovered tunnels were connected to each other and were used by the Takfiri terrorists to gain access to different parts of the city.
