Dakhel Zanadinan and freinds are trying to find out more about their relatives, who were stranded on a mountian top for days after the Islamic ISIS militants attacked their villages and forced them to flee. According to Zanadian, many were imprisioned, tortured and raped. Zanadian and others comprise a farily large population of Yazidi Iraqis who now live in Lincoln, NE. I had the honor of speaking to Dakhel and his freinds and family recently for NBC News.
