Without any interference from us. We have assured him of our seriousness and our determination to carry out his duty fully in this case, and we are waiting for its results. If you prove the innocence of the governor, we are committed to defending him. He stressed that "no political cover for any one proves his corruption, no matter how high his executive position. This applies to all the men of the Shahid al-Mihrab sect who hold positions in the state and bear responsibility for public money or those who assume political political missions.

Iraqis in Mosul celebrate the first day after their liberation from a hustler
NINEWA, Iraq, June 26 (Reuters) - Residents in the Iraqi city of Mosul on Sunday celebrated their first unorganized holiday, calling for years to chase militants out of most parts of the city, hoping the fighting will end soon.
Children are gathered in several fields in the eastern part of the city.While some were hurling at the old hammocks, others were playing games with pistols and rifles, one of the games the hard-line organization allowed after taking over the city in June 2014.
The organization has applied its strict interpretation of Islamic law, which links any puppet-like doll to idolatry and idolatry.He encouraged young people to train on weapons and not in textbooks to reflect their combat ideas.Children were asked to use bombs and bullets in the questions of addition and subtraction in mathematics.
The militants allowed Eid prayers but did not allow celebrations. But for many, the destruction of the historic al-Hadba minaret, which militants blew up with the al-Nuri mosque on Wednesday, was overshadowed by fears for the safety of thousands of civilians trapped in the old city of western Mosul, which is still under duplicitous control.
"Eid will not be a real holiday before we return to our homes," said a man in his 60s, who was displaced from the western part of the Tigris-divided Mosul.
Some expressed sadness at the collapse of the 45-meter humpback minaret and the 850-year-old Nuri Mosque.
"The Eid is no longer the same," said the man, who asked not to be identified because of continued fear, although Iraqi forces expelled militants from the eastern part of the city several months ago.
Iraqi forces regained control of the eastern part of Mosul in January after 100 days of fighting and began attacking the western sector in February.Troops are now surrounded by militants in the old city.
Zaheb responded with a series of suicide attacks in the Tank district, a poor neighborhood west of old Mosul. "The security forces have responded with a violent attack on the explosive belts in the al-Tanak area on the right side," an army statement said, publishing pictures of black smoke that he said was the result of fires set by militants in homes and cars.
"With the Eid al-Fitr and near the victory of our final heroism over the terrorist gangs, I offer my sincere congratulations and the highest congratulations to the Iraqis with all their names and colors on this occasion," the Iraqi prime minister said in a statement.
An international coalition led by the United States has been providing air and ground support for the eight-month-old offensive to drive militants out of their main stronghold in Iraq.
An Iraqi army brigade on Sunday estimated the number of fighters who were pushing the warriors in the Old City at about 350, mostly foreigners, and predicted the battle would end within days.
"Most of the bodies are foreign and most of the fighters are foreigners," said Major General Sami al-Ardhi, a counter-terrorism chief.Including those trying to escape through the Tigris. "
US-trained units in urban warfare are fighting in the maze of narrow streets of the Old City on the west bank of the Tigris River. "More than 50,000 civilians, half the population of the old city, are still in areas under duped control, hampering the advance of the forces in the attack," al-Ardhi told state television.
Those who managed to escape reported that civilians were trapped in dilapidated old houses in appalling living conditions and had little water, food and medicine.
Aid groups say Dawadh has prevented many residents from leaving to use them as human shields.Hundreds of civilians have been killed as they tried to flee the Old City over the past three weeks.
Iraqi authorities had hoped to announce victory in Mosul by Eid holiday.
Al-Ardhi said the anti-terrorist unit was about 25 meters from the al-Nuri mosque, where the leader of the organization, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, called for a "caliphate" state over parts of Iraq and Syria three years ago.
The Iraqi government initially hoped to restore Mosul by the end of 2016, but the campaign took longer, with a boost to its sites in civilian areas, suicide car bombings, mine-laying and firing of sniper and mortar fire.
Control of Mosul means an effective end to the Iraqi part of the "caliphate" but the organization still controls areas in Iraq and Syria. Baghdadi left the fighting in Mosul for local leaders in Dahesh and is believed to have fled to an extended desert region between Iraq and Syria.There were no confirmation of reports recently announced by Russia about his death.
In Syria, a Kurdish-dominated coalition backed by the United States has surrounded the city of Raqqa, the country's main bastion of organization.Finished
