Iraq clashes with IS delay evacuation of Yazidis
Sporadic clashes between Iraqi Kurdish fighters and Islamic State extremists, as well as other logistics problems, are delaying the evacuation of the last Yazidis still trapped on Mt. Sinjar, an Iraqi lawmaker said Friday.
Fighting was still underway near the mountain, said Mahma Khalil, himself a member of Iraq's minority Yazidis. He said the need to plan and prepare for logistics and transportation contributed to the delay.
