Kirkuk: An Iraqi lawmaker who helped bring attention to the plight of besieged members of her Yazidi community was wounded Tuesday in the crash of a helicopter delivering aid, officers said.

The pilot was killed when the chopper, overloaded with rescued Yazidis, crashed during takeoff on Mount Sinjar, two senior army officers said.

Why is Obama allowing this genocide to happen?

It’s a good question. But the Kurds are kicking bootie and posting many pics of dead ISIS on twitter. If countries supply them I think they will make great headway.
