The Flash
Dennis Wilcock did 9/11
Since there's no appropriate thread to talk about this and the event is significant enough, I decided to create a thread of its own.
Militans from Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant have captured the second largest Iraqi city, Mosul, after advancing on the city for almost a week. Prime Minister of Iraq declared national state of emergency and people are quickly fleeing the city, approximately 150k people already have fled.
ISIS also captured the city of Tikrit, burnt down government buildings and released thousands of inmates from prisons (almost all of them were serving sentences under terrorism charges).
ISIS is an organization that has pledged alliance to Al-Qaeda and its main goal is to create an Islamic state in Iraq and Syria and enlarging from there to create an Islamic combined force in the Middle East. Although they're mostly active in Iraq and Syria, they have major financial resources in Saudi Arabia.

ISIS militans also have broken into the Turkish consolate in Mosul and took 48 people as hostages.
