A Kurdish rebel group says they are withdrawing from Iraq's Sinjar following threats of attack from Turkey. The Kurdistan Workers Party, or PKK, says in a statement Friday, March 23, 2018, the "Iraqi government's position and the fact that the Kurdish community had managed to organize itself" have removed security fears in the area.
