Do Kurds control Mosul ?
... because it seems to be the case according to AFP, as a statement tells, concerning the killing of 5 Turkish policemen in this district :
"Turkish leaders denounced monday "despicable trap" where 5 Turkish policemen lost life friday, in Norhern Iraq, a region controlled by Kurds. They promised to enlighten all the circumanstances of the massacre, during an official ceremony for the victims. ."
Well until today, I believed that Kurds have an authority neither on Mosul nor Kirkuk, precisely because Turks did protest immediately after the fall of Saddam, and refused Kurdish presence in these regions. So if Mosul is now a dangerous chaos they have not much way to do for finding the guilty persons.
