Security Situation In Iraq’s Ninewa Province

For many years Iraq Body Count called Iraq’s Ninewa province the deadliest per capita in the country. That was because the governorate capital of Mosul was the main urban base for the insurgency. Militants were able to play upon the internal divisions in the province between Arabs and Kurds, and Sunni displeasure with the central government to build up support. From 2009-2010 violence dropped in Ninewa as people decided to try their hands at politics. Many now consider that a wasted effort. Today the insurgency has made a comeback in the province. The result is that Ninewa is once again one of the most dangerous places in Iraq.

January 2013 saw a low level of violence in Ninewa compared to the rest of the year. There were a total of 65 reported security incidents for the month, 57 of which, 87%, were in Mosul. Shootings, 34 total, were the most common form of attack, followed by bombings, 28. Violence in January mostly consisted of 1-3 people killed or wounded each day with the main target being the Iraqi Security Forces (ISF). Of the 69 killed 39 were from the ISF, 56% of the total. Likewise 30 of the 57 wounded were police and soldiers. Notables from the province were another prime victim. January 1 the nephew of Speaker Osama Nujafi whose family is from Mosul was assassinated. January 14 a sheikh from the Jabour tribe who was an anti-government protest organizer was gunned down in Mosul. January 15 a Dawa parliamentarian was killed by a sticky bomb attached to his car. January 17 the director of the Ninewa emergency police faced a roadside bomb in Mosul. January 21 an official from the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) was hit by a roadside bomb. It is impossible to discern who was responsible for all of these attacks. That’s because not only does Al Qaeda in Iraq (AQI) operate in the province, but so does the Baathist Naqshibandi and Ansar al-Islam amongst others. Those and others would quickly make their presence felt in the following months as January had the lowest levels of violence for the year.

The number of security incidents was slightly up in February, but they took a far higher toll. There were 78 attacks, 79% of which, 62, were in Mosul. 113 people were killed as a result. That was a huge jump from an average of 2.22 deaths per day in January to 4.03 in February. Again, notables and the ISF were the main targets. February 5 a member of the provincial council was shot and wounded. The next day a roadside bomb hit another councilman. February 10 a roadside bomb struck Speaker Nujafi’s motorcade south of Mosul. February 12 the commander of the Ninewa police was struck by an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) in Mosul. February 16 a general was killed by a suicide bomber in Mosul. To top things off there was an assault upon the headquarters of the 26^th Brigade of the 2^nd Army Division in central Mosul by a suicide car bomber that left 9 soldiers dead and 15 more wounded. February saw the number of fatalities almost double. That was despite the number of attacks staying almost the same at 2.09 per day in January to 2.78 the next month. Still just over three-quarter of the attacks were shootings showing that violence remained at a low level overall.

March saw another progression in insurgent activity. There were a total of 100 incidents averaging out to 3.22 per day. 73 of those attacks were in Mosul, which remained the focus for militants. The number of deaths actually went down from 113 in February to 102 in March. The real change was in tactics as the number of bombings increased from 28 in January to 32 in February jumping to 50 in March. For instance, a suicide bomber attacked a restaurant full of ISF killing 5 police and wounding eight others on March 19, and the next day a sticky bomb was attached to the car of a candidate for the provincial elections. There was also a wave of assassination attempts. March 7 an army general was killed in Mosul. March 11 a candidate was gunned down in Harmat, another on March 12, and a third on March 16. March 20 a sheikh from the Shammar tribe was killed in Mosul. Finally, March 27 insurgents blocked off a road and stopped a bus transporting Iraqi soldiers killing one and wounding eight. By the end of the month 60 ISF members had died and 67 wounded. The increase in attacks was a bad sign for Ninewa, as violence would only increase in the next few months. March showed that militants were ready to pick up the pace of their operations with more sophisticated attacks with deadlier consequences.

Mid-April saw a security crisis develop. After government forces raided the Hawija protest site in Tamim heavy fighting broke out in Mosul. The shooting started after a mosque called for an uprising against the government. On April 25 31 insurgents and 10 police were killed as a result. The Kurdish Peshmerga Ministry said that the army then evacuated several areas in the province out of fear of being attacked creating a security vacuum. Other notable incidents were a suicide car bombing of an army base that wounded eight soldiers on April 4. April 7 a roadside bomb went off against the director of the Ninewa police regiments in Qayara. April 10 a candidate was wounded by a sticky bomb in Mosul. April 14 a funeral in Hamamal Aleel was bombed killing six police and wounding 13 more. April 15 a candidate’s house was blown up in Mosul. April 16 Governor Atheel Nujafi’s convoy was hit by a roadside bomb in Qayara. Despite the pitched battles between the ISF and insurgents following Hawija violence was actually down in April. There were 74 security incidents averaging out to 2.46 per day compared to 3.22 the previous month. In the end 85 people were killed. That averaged out to 2.83 killed per day down from 3.29 the previous month and 4.03 in February. Of the fatalities, 61 were from the ISF, 71% of the total, and 75 were wounded, 79%. Those were the highest rates seen during the year up to that point. April turned out to be the calm before the storm.

The real effect of Hawija was felt in May. There were 110 attacks averaging out to 3.54 per day the highest average yet seen. It was also the first time in 2013 when bombings, 58 total, surpassed shootings, 50. The result was 128 killed or 4.12 per day, again the highest rate up to then. Politicians were major targets. May 1 a candidate was shot and killed in Mosul, and another on May 17 in Qayara. May 18 and 29 separate candidates were bombed as well, but with no one hurt.  May 9 an adviser to Governor Nujafi ran into a roadside bomb in Mosul. May 20 a provincial council member was similarly bombed. A new tactic was unveiled as well when three houses belonging to members of the ISF were blown up on May 26. The rising violence finally led to the central government to respond when the Defense Ministry launched a major operating against Al Qaeda on May 28 that included Ninewa and five other provinces. May marked a turning point in the security situation. Not only did the average number of attacks and deaths jump, but also more and more bombs were being used. That would be the trend for the rest of the year.

In June the insurgency began going after the general populace rather than focusing so much on the security forces. There were 98 attacks and 122 deaths for an average of 3.26 per day and 4.06 per day respectively, just about the same as May. Again bombings, 53 for the month, superseded shootings, 41, as the main form of attack. The real difference was that the ISF only accounted for 50% of deaths, 61, and 46% of wounded, 105, when before that percentage had ranged from 50-70% of the total. On June 24 for instance, a café in Mosul was bombed resulting in 4 deaths and 21 wounded, and another one south of Mosul was hit the next day leaving the same number of casualties. Insurgents have been demanding protection money from these types of businesses so these attacks might have been for not paying. The government proved incapable of stopping these incidents. In the middle of the month 6,000 troops were deployed in Ninewa and Anbar along the Syrian and Jordanian borders to prepare for provincial elections. Since the vast majority of attacks take place in and around Mosul, which is at the center of the province sending forces to the border was a waste of resources. Al Qaeda and others do cross back and forth into Syria, but their base of operations is squarely focused in Mosul and its environs. This mistake would be repeated throughout the rest of the year.

The insurgency became even deadlier in July. There were 101 reported security incidents for a total of 3.25 per day, almost the exact same rate as June. Those left 156 people dead for an average of 5.03 per day, which was a new high. The ISF accounted for 61% of fatalities, 96 total, but only 44% of the wounded, 100. July 3 an army base was hit be a suicide car bomber leaving 4 soldiers dead, and 28 wounded, 21 of which were soldiers. July 10 the commander of the Ninewa Operations Command escaped a suicide car bomb. July 14 a roadside bomb went off while the Ninewa police commander was passing by. July 20 a military base in Mosul was hit by a suicide bomber that killed one and wounded 25. July 27 a police director was shot in Qayara and a policeman’s house was bombed there as well. There were also the usual terrorist attacks upon the population. July 12 three car bombs in and around Mosul went off leaving 21 dead and 24 wounded. July 17 a café was hit again with three dead and 21 wounded, and another one was bombed on July 31 with 1 fatality and 8 wounded. At the end of the month AQI also announced its new Soldiers’ Harvest campaign that was aimed at degrading the Iraqi security forces and establishing control of territory. Al Qaeda already had bases in parts of Ninewa, and had been hitting the ISF since the beginning of the year. It would now increase those efforts in the coming months.

Despite Soldiers’ Harvest August was not much different from July. There were 107 attacks for 3.45 per day resulting in 128 deaths or 4.12 per day, a decrease from the previous month. One reason for the slight decline might have been the government’s Revenge of the Martyrs campaign that was announced on August 1. AQI on the other hand launched a series of operations south of Mosul aimed at the Baghdad-Mosul highway, which were meant to cut the supply lines between the capital and the ISF forces in Ninewa. It also continued to blow up the houses of policemen with two destroyed on August 2, and six more on August 12 all in Qayara. In response the ISF carried out a series of raids and arrests claiming 124 people had been picked up including several AQI leaders, and the discovery a car bomb factory. The best that could be said was that the Revenge of the Martyrs and Soldiers’ Harvest cancelled each other out in Ninewa resulting in no real surge in violence for the month. That did not last long.

September saw the number of dead and wounded in the province surge. There were 113 attacks for an average of 3.76 per day, but the results were far more deadlier. There were 192 killed, 6.4 per day up from 4.12 in August, and 236 wounded an increase from August’s 150. On September 11 Al Qaeda announced the creation of an operations command in Ninewa stretching from the western desert regions to the Syrian border to the center of the province. The ISF increased its operations in the Jazeera desert in response and claimed to have found several weapons caches. A second operation along the Syrian border was started as well. Both areas were so large the security forces only had marginal success. Not only that, but 75% of the attacks were in Mosul while the army and police were running around in the deserts. A former governor’s house was blown up in Mosul on September 5. September 16 22 houses belonging to police officers were detonated in Qayara, four more in Mosul on September 22, and two more in Qayara on September 23. The house of a parliamentarian was bombed on September 21. The Shabak community in Mosul was targeted as well with a funeral being hit by a suicide bomber on September 14 that killed 15 and wounded 20. Some Shabaks fled the area afterward. Finally, four neighborhood mayors were assassinated in Mosul leading 18 to resign afterward. Despite the government crackdown the insurgency proved resilient in Ninewa and were able to increase their attacks and murdered more people while disrupting the local administration in Mosul.

In October the security forces announced more operations, while the insurgency responded with greater efficiency. Chief of Staff of the Army General Zebari met with Governor Nujafi and local ISF commanders to discuss how security could be better coordinated. Federal Police carried out a number of raids south of Mosul finding an IED and car bomb factory, while the Jazeera and Badeya Operations Command claimed to have found 42 vehicles in the Jazeera region that were going to be used for terrorist attacks. Those might have accounted for the decrease in attacks from 113 in September to 89 in October. However there were 218 deaths, the highest amount for any month in the year for an average of 7.03 per day. There were also 339 wounded up from 236 the previous month. The death and destruction was mostly the result of 53 bombings. Again, in the battle between the government and insurgents, the latter maintained the upper hand.

Ninewa has once again become a major base of operations for insurgent groups. They have killed politicians, sheikhs, police, soldiers, and average citizens almost at will nearly every day since the beginning of the year. In the last few months the government has launched several operations in the governorate, but these have failed to stabilize things. Instead the number of bombings has increased, and so have the number of casualties. It looks like Ninewa is going to remain a militant stronghold for the foreseeable future as a result.
