ISIS Takes Another Town in Iraq as UN Warns of a Great Tragedy on Progress
Aug 3 2014
ISIS is on the move and they seem to be getting quite a foothold in Iraq! Are we next? The UN says that ISIS has taken over the town of Sinjar, Iraq as 200,000 people flee for their lives and murder is taking place.
The UN has warned that up to 200,000 people have been forced to flee their homes after militants took over more towns in northern Iraq.
Islamic State (formerly known as Isis) militants are reported to have taken over the town of Sinjar near Syria.
It follows the IS takeover of the town of Zumar and two nearby oilfields from Kurdish Peshmerga forces on Saturday.
IS seized large parts northern Iraq from government control in a major offensive in June.
The UN special envoy to Iraq, Nickolay Mladenov, said that a “humanitarian tragedy is unfolding in Sinjar”.
“The United Nations has grave concerns for the physical safety of these civilians” he said.
“The humanitarian situation of these civilians is reported as dire, and they are in urgent need of basic items including food, water and medicine” he added.
The UN said many of those who fled are in exposed areas in mountains near the town. Read more

Islamic State fighters seized control of Iraq’s biggest dam, an oilfield and three more towns on Sunday after inflicting their first major defeat on Kurdish forces since sweeping across much of northern Iraq in June.
Capture of the electricity-generating Mosul Dam, after an offensive of barely 24 hours, could give the Sunni militants the ability to flood major Iraqi cities or withhold water from farms, raising the stakes in their bid to topple Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki’s Shia-led government.
“The terrorist gangs of the Islamic State have taken control of Mosul Dam after the withdrawal of Kurdish forces without a fight,” said Iraqi state television.

The swift withdrawal of Kurdish “peshmerga” troops was an apparent severe blow to one of the only forces in Iraq that
until now had stood firm against the Sunni Islamist fighters who aim to redraw the borders of the Middle East.
The Islamic State (formerly known as Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, or ISIS), which sees Iraq’s majority Shias apostates who deserve to be killed, also seized the Ain Zalah oilfield — adding to four others already under its control that provide funding for operations — and three towns. Read more
