Barzani and PYD leader discuss anti-ISIS efforts in Erbil

| Good to know that they're planning together. |
[Rudaw] Kurdish President Masoud Barzani and Leader of the Democratic Union Party (PYD) Salih Moslem held a meeting in Erbil Tuesday to discuss the latest war efforts against the 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....
(ISIS).
US Deputy Special Presidential Envoy for the Global Coalition to Counter ISIS Brett McGurk broke the news of the meeting on twitter.
"Important meetings today in Erbil w/President Masud Barzani & PYD's on combined efforts against ISIL," said McGurk on his twitter account.
PYD's armed wing the Peoples Protection Units (YPG) have been effectively fighting ISIS across the Kurdish areas of Syria (Rojava), most notably in Kobani and Hasakah.
It is believed that most coalition Arclight airstrikes against ISIS in Rojava are coordinated through the main coalition and Peshmerga headquarters in Erbil.
Moslem was in the Kurdistan Region last October where he signed an agreement with other Syrian Kurdish groups in Duhok to coordinate their operations against ISIS.
Also in a separate tweet McGurk reported that US Lieutenant General James L. Terry had held a meeting with Barzani on the "ongoing Peshmerga ops [operations] against ISIL terrorists,"
