A civilian house in Gela Town.
This was the town center, where low houses were scattered everywhere.
Gela Town used to be prosperous, located between the two major cities of Titrik and Mosul. In the days when Illiguo's per capita GDP exceeded ten thousand US dollars and every household owned a car, this place had its moment of glory.
However, after the First Gulf War, it began to decline gradually.
A member of the Salafi Armed Organization was on the rooftop of the house, keeping watch with an AK47. About a kilometer away from him was a large compound that served as the temporary headquarters of the organization.
They could relocate their headquarters at any time, thanks to some intricate local connections, so getting their hands on houses and corners was not difficult.
One advantage of hiding in the town was that if anyone came to encircle them, they would be reported before even entering the town.
