IRAQ-UNREST-AMERLI

Iraqi fighters advance towards the Shiite town of Amerli from their position in the Ajana area, ten kilometres south of the town, in Salaheddin province, on September 1, 2014 after Iraqi forces broke a jihadist siege where thousands of mainly Shiite Turkmen residents have been trapped for more than two months with dwindling food and water supplies. The capture of the town the previous day is the biggest offensive success for the Iraqi government since militants led by the Sunni Islamic State (IS) jihadist group overran large areas of five provinces in June, sweeping security forces aside.
