DOHUK, Iraq - American military forces bombed at least two targets in northern Iraq on Thursday night to rout Islamist insurgents who have trapped tens of thousands of religious minorities in Kurdish areas, Kurdish officials said.
Word of the bombings, reported on Kurdish television from the city of Erbil, came as President Obama was preparing to make a statement in Washington.

I have had no other confirmation of this.
The Pentagon says it wasnt them.
The Pentagon on Thursday disputed a new New York Times report stating that, according to Kurdish officials, American military forces have bombed at least two targets in northern Iraq.
“Press reports that US has conducted airstrikes in Iraq completely false. No such action taken,” Pentagon Press Secretary Rear Adm. John Kirby tweeted late Thursday afternoon, shortly after the Times published its report.
Maybe it was Iraq's new best friends, the Russians.
