I saw a couple reports here on FR (maybe a week or two ago; sorry, I can’t source a link at this time) that the dam was actually still getting some needed maintenance conducted in lieu of ISIS taking control (continuing maintenance, not ISIS initiated maint).
I wonder if ISIS thinks it will lose control if they don’t blow that damn thing. It is a win/win for them based on their current behavior and I am quite certain they wouldn’t see a loss in creating more chaos.
Isn’t electricity against their religion?
Gee, wouldn’t that be awful if ISIS blows it up?
If they breach it, the first thing that gets wiped out is Mosul. I doubt they’d want to flood their own city.
