Mosul is an Arab city in a Kurdish "region". You might be thinking of Kirkuk, which is primarily Kurdish, with a Turkeman minority.

Incidentally, most all Kurds in Iraq are Sunni Muslims.

"Mosul is an Arab city in a Kurdish "region"."

There are three primary groups of Kurds. Two of those groups can be friendly to the U.S.

The 3rd group, however, is Ansar Al Islam, a decidely unfriendly terrorist operation that got caught trying to pull the recent chemical attack in London.

Yeah, I made the distinction that Sunni ARABS shared Mosul with the Kurds.
