US Airstrikes Destroy ISIS Targets In Sinjar As Yazidis Flee To Syria

Faced with threats of genocide from Islamic State militants, thousands of Yazidis in Iraq crossed the border into Syria where they're being protected by Kurds in the northeast portion of the country, Kurdish officials told the Associated Press Saturday. Meanwhile, Yazidis cornered by the militants on Mount Sinjar were aided by U.S. airstrikes on armored personnel carriers and an armored truck.
