The United States has carried out air strikes against jihadists of the Islamic State (IS) group in Mount Sinjar, a border area of Iraq where the UN refugee agency says 20,000-30,000 civilians, many of them members of the Yazidi mi**rity, remain besieged. Thousands poured across the border bridge into camps in Iraq's auto**mous Kurdish region on Wednesday after trekking through neighbouring Syria to find refuge, most with **thing but the clothes they were wearing. Some women carried exhausted children, weeping as they reached the relative safety of Iraqi Kurdistan after fleeing the jihadist offensive which drove Kurdish forces from their home villages.
