The battle in Mosul is over, but this hidden ISIS danger may lurk for years

Marcia Biggs:

Former Iraqi Joint Forces, Lieutenant General Stephen Townsend, recently listed 81 locations where bombs were discarded but have not exploded.

Facilities used to make weapons are usually on the alliance’s high-value target list. So, these places are now twice as likely to contain dangerous items.

So this used to be a seminar for electrical engineering students. You can still see the lab table here. It was hit by air strikes in 2015. Afterwards, university staff discovered bomb instructions in the rubble. This could be the factory of the ISIS bomb plant and is viewed by Crater (a high value target).

Despite the damage, Dean Alubaidy said he will hold classes on alternative buildings this fall until campus is ready. He expects enrollment to be among thousands, losing three years of education in the fight and not wanting to lose another education.
