Islamic State (ISIS) free around 350 Yazdi captives in Iraq's north Kirkuku, on Saturday, delivering them to safety in the country's north. The group of mainly elderly Yazidis crossed out of ISIS - controlled territory and were received by Kurdish officials, BBC reported. Most of those released Saturday were children and the elderly, said Saman Jabari, the Kurdistan Democratic party leader. Islamic state militants attacked Yazidiin northwestern Iraq last summer, killing or capturing and enslaving thousands of the minority group.
