Iraq clashes with IS delay evacuation of Yazidis
2014-12-20
[IsraelTimes] Sporadic festivities between Iraqi Kurdish fighters and Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
Death Eaters, as well as other logistics problems, are delaying the evacuation of the last Yazidis still trapped on Sinjar mountain, an Iraqi politician said Friday.

Fighting was still underway near the mountain, said politician Mahma Khalil, himself a member of Iraq?s minority Yazidis. He also cited the need to plan and prepare for logistics and transportation, as other reasons for the delay.

However,
by candlelight every wench is handsome...
the Kurdish peshmerga fighters were able to ease the plight of the thousands of Yazidis still trapped on Mt. Sinjar and delivered a substantial amount of food and supplies to them.

The delivery was made possible after the peshmerga?s battlefield advance on Thursday, when the Kurdish fighters managed to retake some ground lost in the summer to Islamic State snuffies and opened up a corridor to the mountain.

The development was an incremental step in the battle to retake the town of Sinjar, at the foothills of the mountain by the same name, which fell to the Islamic State group in early August.

The Kurdish peshmerga troops, backed by US-led coalition Arclight airstrikes, launched the operation to retake Sinjar on Wednesday.

?The situation of these trapped people is better now, with the fresh supplies and we hope to evacuate them as soon as possible,? Khalil told The News Agency that Dare Not be Named.
