Iraqi Kurdish Forces Launch Offensive Against ISIS Near Kirkuk

KIRKUK, IRAQ - MARCH 13: A peshmerga checkpoint stands beside pools of oil with damaged oil pipeline infrastructure, as Iraqi Kurdish forces push the frontline forward against ISIS forces in the Tal al-Ward district 20 miles southwest of Kirkuk, Iraq, on March 13, 2015.These peshmerga units of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) faction have made significant gains against villages held by ISIS, in concert with an Iraqi government and Shiite militia attack further south to free Tikrit from ISIS control, with a joint aim of squeezing the jihadist militants from Iraq. Since ISIS swept from Syria in June, 2014, Kurdish forces in northern Iraq have expanded their control over oil-rich territories disputed with Baghdad such as Kirkuk and its oil and gas facilities.
