Give War a Chance

Eventually, it all comes around...
An Iraqi militant who was behind last month's attacks that killed more than 400 members of the minority Yazidi community has been killed, the US says.

Abu Mohammed al-Afri - who was responsible for "the planning and conducting of the horrific attack" against the Yazidis on 14 August - was killed in a coalition air strike 115km (70 miles) south-west of the northern city of Mosul, Rear Admiral Mark Fox told reporters.
