careerly ran across isis and certain pockets there. those clashes continued. we eventually joined the peshmerga down on the street level, down there you can see the intense damage inflicted on that city, both by coalition air strikes but isis suicide bombers as well. so little left to go back to for the yazidi population. so many booby traps left at the side of the road. we heard from a volunteer, jason, working as a medic and seeing kurds die right in front of him during this brutal fight, there are over a dozen he'd seen just in the previous few hours. it's frankly a death trap at this stage. the guns have fallen silent behind me now. there may still be isis inside the city. there may be booby traps still. the question is how swift has the victory been, and when can the yazidis move back to their town of sinjar. >> we want to bring in lieutenant general mark
