UK Troops Training Kurdish Forces In Iraq, Says MoD -- BBC
A "specialist team" of 12 UK soldiers is training Kurdish forces fighting Islamic State militants in Iraq, the Ministry of Defence has said.
It said troops from the Yorkshire Regiment were training Iraqi Kurds to use UK-supplied heavy machine guns.

Just reposting this here incase you diden't see the my questions about the unrest in Kharkov:
How bad is the unrest in Kharkov? Is there a risk of the separatists getting to power and what is your friends in Kharkov saying about the unrest? Also who has most support in Kharkov, the separatists or the Ukrainian government?
Also when will you post about Putin's decision to pull back troops, sources:

is there a chance for an agreement? Also do you think there is a risk of EU lifting some of the sanctions?
I did see your questions Rhaegar .... it is just that I am hosting visitors at my home (it is Canadian Thanksgiving) .... and I have not had the time to even get to my computer.
I will be answering your question late tonight. I will have a post on Russian troops withdrawing from the border in the next few hours.
Thank you for the answer :). And I am sorry for nagging at you. Have a good thanksgiving and most importantly relax, have fun and be with your friends and family :)
