ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION) STORY: Kurdish peshmerga forces have started clearing parts of the northern Iraqi town of Sinjar and have established positions along an Islamic State supply route between its two main strongholds in Iraq and Syria, Pentagon spokesman Peter Cook told a briefing Thursday. "This is a primary supply line, a key conduit, connector between Raqqa and Mosul and if this is indeed severed, then it does mean potentially a significant impact on ISIL's operations in that part of Iraq. We'll have to wait exactly how this plays out, this could take some time, we don't have a timeline for it. But we do believe that this will have an impact on ISIL, specifically in northern Iraq and the ability to re-supply their forces, the ability to provide new foreign fighters into the fight and even potentially the ability to interrupt some of their financial flows as well," said Cook. Backed by U.S.-led coalition air strikes, the Kurds launched an offensive in the early morning designed to cordon off Sinjar, take control of strategic routes and establish a buffer zone to protect the town from artillery.
