The US led coalition conducted a “precision strike”  on a hospital in the Iraqi city of Mosul,  after saying its Iraqi allies had came under fire by ISIS fighters from the hospital complex. According to the US Central Command (Centcom), the airstrike targeted a building within the al-Salem hospital complex from where ISIS had launched heavy machine gun and rocket-propelled grenade fire on Iraqi forces. The coalition did not say if any patients or civilians were present at the scene of the airstrike.

In the final weeks of his Presidency, Barack Obama has finally admitted to Donald Trump that the U.S. helped to create ISIS.  The outgoing President told stunned military personnel on Tuesday that U.S. foreign policy helped to give rise to ISIS/Daesh and that Trump will have a tough job ahead of him of washing the blood from America’s hands.

Following complaints from the Iraqi government, the United Nations has agreed to stop recording casualty figures for the ISIS war in Iraq, meaning that November’s report of 1,959 deaths among Iraqi security forces will be the last deaths you’ll be hearing about from them.

Wikileaks has released tens of thousands of emails on Monday confirming that Turkey have “sinister relations” with ISIS and regularly conduct business with the terrorist regime.  The trove of 58,000 Wikileaks emails show that Turkish President Recept Tayyip Erdogan’s son-in-law, Berat Albayrak, worked with ISIS militants to import oil from ISIS-held territories into Turkey.

Back in November 2015, when the world (or at least parts of it) was trying to answer one simple question: where does ISIS get its money, we first provided the answer in "Meet The Man Who Funds ISIS: Bilal Erdogan, The Son Of Turkey's President." Subsequent articles such as "ISIS Oil Trade Full Frontal: "Raqqa's Rockefellers", Bilal Erdogan, KRG Crude, And The Israel Connection" only shed more light on the illegal cash-for-oil transfer taking place between Turkey's ruling family and the Islamic State.
