militants in Mosul, a city in northern Iraq.
In an announcement on Wednesday, former

claimed, “Whilst Mosul was captured by 3,000 to 5,000 militants in June,
the number has swelled to between 30,000 and 50,000 since then.”
Furthermore, Rubayi mentioned that most of the IS insurgents in the Mosul area local and Iraqi citizens.
He continued, “Most of the IS leaders are foreigners.”
“IS foreigners have been engaging with and brainwashing local people,” he said, explaining the dramatic rise in numbers.
Previously, the CIA estimated the number of IS insurgents in Mosul in the range of 20,000 – 30,000 militants.
