General Mustafa said that he did not expect the Iraqi army in Kirkuk to put up much resistance, but they were frightened to surrender.

The Iraqi army has taken other measures to prevent its soldiers defecting or going home. At Berdarasha north of Mosul, Ibrahim Ahmed, a local political leader, said: "We know that the Iraqi army confiscated radios and civilian clothes from their men last week." Kurdish radio stations yesterday started broadcasting in Arabic instructions on how Iraqi soldiers should surrender.
