Rudaw reports:

The Italian government will be deploying a military unit of around 500 men to Iraq to provide protection for the technicians who are planned to work on the fragile Mosul Dam.

Speaking to Rudaw, Marco Carnelos said the Italian Trevi Group will be based in the area close to the dam and work on both the foundation and giant pillars of the unstable Mosul Dam.

A US report earlier this year warned that if the dam collapses the result would be catastrophic with colossal human losses.

In the interview Cornelos also speaks about the war against the ISIS and the help his country can provide to defeat the group.
