On March 24, the Iraqi military launched "Operation Conquest" — the newest offensive to push the Islamic State out of Iraq.

VOA sat down with the leader of an elite Kurdish counterterrorism unit to discuss what he thinks it will take to defeat the extremists. From northern Iraq, Sebastian Meyer reports.
