Four aid workers killed in mortar attacks in Mosul, UN says

ERBIL, Iraq, Dec 22 (Reuters) Four Iraqi aid workers and at least seven civilians were killed by indiscriminate mortar fire this week during aid distribution in two separate incidents in eastern Mosul, the United Nations said today.
A UN statement did not assign blame for the attacks, but Islamic State militants retreating from the Iraqi military's offensive in the northern city have repeatedly shelled "liberated" areas, killing or wounding scores of residents fleeing in the opposite direction.
The operation in Mosul, the jihadists' last major stronghold in Iraq, has retaken a quarter of the city but the troops' advance has been slow and punishing. The US-backed campaign launched by a 100,000-strong alliance of local forces on Oct 17, has become the biggest in Iraq since the 2003 US-led invasion that toppled Saddam Hussein.
