Kurds 'pleased' after IS siege of Mount Sinjar broken
Kurdish fighters say they have broken the Islamic State siege around Mount Sinjar in northern Iraq.
It is their biggest and most successful offensive against the Islamic militants, involving 80,000 Kurdish fighters.
With the help of US-led airstrikes they liberated thousands of people who were stuck up the mountain with limited food and water.
"The Kurds are extremely pleased... But the corridor will still be vulnerable," reports Jim Muir.
