A network of tunnels under Sinjar
Two weeks' ago Kurdish fighters entered the town of Sinjar in northern Iraq and took it back from the group calling itself Islamic State. Sinjar was home to the Yazidi community who suffered tremendously under I.S. Many were killed or forced to work as slaves.
Now that the town is free again, people from the outside world have been getting a chance to look around. One of them is the Dutch photojournalist, Eddy van Wessel, who has found and filmed a network of I.S tunnels under houses in Sinjar. He spoke to Newsday about the tunnels.
