IRAQ: The Daesh group media center was hidden in plain sight in an upscale part of a west Mosul neighborhood now recaptured by Iraqi forces.
Inside a two-story villa, complete with a garden and a shed, Daesh produced placards and broadcast its Al-Bayan radio station, according to Iraqi forces and residents.
鈥淭he neighbors told us that they Daesh produced their adverts here,鈥� said Lt. Col. Abdulamir Al-Mohammedawi, of the interior ministry鈥檚 elite Rapid Response Division.
鈥淎nd after we came in and examined it completely, we discovered that it was a media center that broadcast the Al-Bayan radio station.鈥�
The building was set alight by Daesh fighters as they fled the neighborhood, Mohammedawi said, and little was left behind.
Inside, the walls were caked with black soot all the way up the roof, where a toy car was untouched.
The kitchen was virtually unrecognizable, and reams of documents were reduced to ash by the fire.
A handful of calculators, some melted but others intact, sat by the kitchen entrance, and the shells of computer hard drive towers were still visible.
鈥淓verything is totally burnt... we found a few computers, adverts, some CDs, which will be taken to the intelligence unit,鈥� said Mohammedawi.
He said radio broadcasting equipment had also been found, and Rapid Response members were seen moving a sound mixing board.
鈥淭his place used to belong to Daesh, no one entered it because it was forbidden,鈥� said neighbor Obaida Radwan, 22, using an Arabic acronym for IS.
鈥淭hey used it as a media point, to print their adverts, the ones you see on the street,鈥� he told AFP
鈥淚t was also used... for the Al-Bayan radio station.鈥�
Daesh has developed a sophisticated media output that experts say is a key plank of its operations.
It has used Al-Bayan, along with its other media channels, to claim attacks overseas, including the Orlando nightclub shooting that killed 50 people in June.
It also regularly distributes material intended to lionize its fighters and romanticize life under its rule in the hope of attracting recruits.
鈥淧ropaganda is everything for Daesh,鈥� said Charlie Winter, a senior research fellow at the International Center for the Study of Radicalization at Kings College.
鈥淣ot just in terms of its ability to brand itself around the world but also to sustain some level of acquiescence in its heartland in Syria and Iraq,鈥� he said.
Daesh own media, as well as discoveries made in territory recaptured from the group, show it often erects large placards with its religious rules, including instructing women on the all-covering clothes they must wear in its domain.
Winter said it was unsurprising the group had set fire to its Jawsaq center to protect its secrets.
鈥淭hey are perhaps more secretive about the media than they are about almost any other aspect of the organization,鈥� he said.
鈥淭hat鈥檚 because it鈥檚 so important to them, it鈥檚 a way for them to weather losses, to embed themselves in people鈥檚 mind even if their territorial hold is tenuous.鈥�
Among the ashes of the villa鈥檚 contents was one untouched box outside by a window. It contained hundreds of square covers for use with CDs distributed by IS.
Winter said the remaining contents of the house suggested it could have been used to produce materials to be distributed at 鈥渕edia kiosks,鈥� which IS set up in areas under its control to disseminate propaganda touting its achievements.
But he suggested the villa, in a residential neighborhood where everyone knew the building was a media hub, would not have been a major part of Daesh propaganda output.
鈥淚鈥檇 be very surprised if they made any of the videos, did any of the post-production or kept any of the narrators in a place as public as that,鈥� he said.
鈥淚 think that would be somewhere very, very secret.鈥�
Iraqi forces began an operation to capture west Mosul on February 19, after pushing Daesh out of the city鈥檚 east bank.
The operation is progressing slowly but steadily, with the urban setting making fighting more difficult and dangerous for troops.
