The U.S. military conducted new airstrikes against Islamic militants Friday and killed at least 90 male members of Iraq’s Yazidi minority in a northern village and kidnapped “dozens” of women and children.
According to our sources U.S. surveillance drones saw evidence of the massacre of dozens of Yazidi men. The U.S. military later struck two militant targets, killing some of those involved in the killings.
The Yazidis, a Kurdish-speaking ethnic and religious group which numbers in the hundreds of thousands in Iraq, has been persecuted in the north by Islamic State militants, with at least 500 killed prior to Friday’s news, according to Iraq’s human rights minister.
We have also got news that some women of the villages have been kidnapped. As the situation gets out of control Iraqi Kurdish leader appeals to Germany for weapons to fight against ISIS.
