ISIS releases more than 200 Yazidis, Kurdish officials say

Adam Winters

ISIS, a horrible Islamic terrorist group has been known to be brutal towards Yazidis people.  Yazidis people are a minority in Iraq accounting for only 1% of the population.  They have been known to be prosecuted for their religion which is considered a pre-Islamic sect that draws from Christianity, Judaism and Zoroastrianism.  No one knows what may have led to the little over 200 people being released from captivity on Wednesday, but their have been hints that Arab tribal leaders help set it up.  Of those released, the majority were women and children.
