The Iraqi Kurdish leader Massoud Barzani has gone to Mount Sinjar to congratulate his fighters on breaking a long siege by the Islamic State group. The offensive by Kurdish Peshmerga fighters was launched last week. Mr. Barzani said the fighters were now intensifying their efforts to recapture the town of Sinjar below the mountain. Jim Muir reports. "Touring the strategic mountaintop of Sinjar, where his Kurdish Peshmerga forces have now regained control, President Barzani said that recapturing the town of Sinjar was not originally part of the battle plan. But Kurdish troops have penetrated deep into the town, which lies to the south of the mountain. ________________________ The Kurdish advance has broken the IS siege imposed on thousands of minority Yazidis trapped for months on the mountain.
