In this photo taken Wednesday, Oct. 8, 2014, a 15-year-old Yazidi girl captured by the Islamic State group and forcibly married to a militant in Syria sits on the floor of a one-room house she now shares with her family after escaping in early August, while speaking in an interview with The Associated Press in Maqluba, a hamlet near the Kurdish city of Dahuk, 260 miles (430 kilometers) northwest of Baghdad, Iraq. The girl was among hundreds of women and girls from the Yazidi religious minority captured by Islamic State fighters in early August when the militants overran their hometown of Sinjar in northwestern Iraq. Hundreds were killed in the attack, and tens of thousands fled for their lives, most to Kurdish-held parts of the north. (AP Photo/Dalton Bennett)

Internally displaced Iraqi Yazidis who fled from Sinjar and other towns after advances by Islamic militants take shelter at a school in Dahuk, 260 miles (420 kilometers) northwest of Baghdad, Thursday, Oct. 2, 2014. The Yazidis now living in the Kurdish city of Dahuk are cautiously optimistic - wary after having already lost so much, but hopeful to return home and pick up the pieces, as the Kurdish military says it is now on a push toward Sinjar, located in the deserts of northwestern Iraq near the Syrian border, in an assault aimed at retaking the town from the extremists.

Kurdish peshmerga fighters stand guard on the front line with the Islamic State group, as they patrol in Rabia, northwestern Iraq, Wednesday, Oct. 1, 2014. Iraqi Kurdish fighters on the front lines of battle say they have yet to receive the heavy weapons and training pledged by the United States and nearly a dozen other countries to help them push back the Sunni militants. Without more sophisticated weaponry, the Kurdish fighters, known as peshmerga, have had to rely on aging arms like the Soviet-era cannons, a centerpiece of the offensive Tuesday to retake Mahmoudiyah.
