ISIS In Iraq: Kurds Recapture Mount Sinjar As Islamic State Group Retakes Baiji Oil Refinery

Iraqi Kurdish peshmerga forces, aided by U.S.-led airstrikes, retook control of huge chunks of territory around Mount Sinjar in northern Iraq from the Islamic State group late on Sunday, according to media reports. Mount Sinjar, which is located near the Syrian border, was populated mainly by members of the Yazidi community before an onslaught by ISIS forced them to flee.
