         EU Approves Arming of Kurds; US Says Air Strikes Will Continue

   by Henry Ridgwell

   European Union Foreign Ministers have approved sending arms to Kurdish
   Peshmerga forces who are battling extremist Islamic State militants in
   northern Iraq. The United States says its air strikes against Islamic
   State positions have relieved the humanitarian emergency facing ethnic
   minorities sheltering on Sinjar mountain. As Henry Ridgwell reports for
   VOA, however, the West is determined not to get sucked in to another
   conflict in Iraq.
