ISIS launches satellite television in Iraq

Baghdad, Jan 11: After making its presence felt on internet, the Islamic State (ISIS) has launched a satellite television station broadcasting in Iraq.

The station has been launched in terrorist stronghold Mosul and named BEIN HD4, is broadcast on Nilesat, an Egyptian satellite company whose biggest shareholder is the public Egyptian Radio & Television Union.

It broadcasts news, reports, and media from the ISIS, a group well-known for investing in slick video reports from the front lines of its wars.

ISIS overran Mosul on June 10, 2014 and since then has gained control over other cities in northern Iraq, where it declared a caliphate in the lands it has subjected in this country and in Syria.

The fall of Mosul to hands of ISIS militants was beginning of hell for the people of the Iraqi city. Life for the city's residents has changed beyond recognition.
