NEAR SINJAR TOWN
Reuters
Kurdish
peshmerga forces entered Sinjar "from all directions" on Friday to
begin clearing the northern Iraqi town of Islamic State militants, the
Kurdistan regional security council said in a tweet.
Heavy
bursts of gunfire could be heard inside the town, as fighters filed down the
hill overlooking the town from the north, some with rocket-propelled grenades
on their shoulders, said a Reuters witness.
Backed by
U.S.-led airstrikes, the Kurds cut Sinjar off from east and west on Thursday in
an offensive against Islamic State that could provide critical momentum in
efforts to defeat the jihadist group.
