#Iraq - Fighting the IS with Iraq’s Golden Division: The Road to Fallujah: VICE News

Published on 7 Jun 2016

In 2014, Islamic State militants swept into Western Iraq's Anbar Province, overrunning Iraqi security forces, enslaving minorities, and causing thousands to flee for their lives.

The jihadist group captured Iraq’s largest city, Mosul, and the cities of Ramadi and Fallujah, where hundreds of US troops died fighting the Islamic State’s predecessor.

Now, two years later, the Iraqi security forces, with help from Iranian-supported Shiite militias and US military advisors and warplanes, are fighting to take back towns and cities in Anbar, one battle at a time.

But it’s a difficult task: Anbar has been the crucible of Iraq’s insurgency, and is the country’s Sunni heartland — long marginalized by and hostile to the Shiite-led government in Baghdad.

VICE News embedded with Iraq’s Golden Division Special Forces unit as they fought their way into the villages surrounding the city of Hit, where they encountered ambushes, sniper fire, and tried to sort suspected Islamic State operatives and sympathizers from innocent Iraqi civilians.

Here’s Why Shares of Zillow Are Trading Higher on Tuesday: TheStreet

Published on 7 Jun 2016

Shares of Zillow traded higher in Tuesday's session after the online real-estate database announced it had reached a settlement with rival Move. The settlement deal averts a trial which would've taken place later this month. Move and the National Association of Realtors were seeking up to $2 billion in damages over allegations that Zillow executives brought trade secrets with them when they left Move in 2014. Zillow settled the suit for just $130 million dollars. On word of the settlement, Barclays upgraded Zillow's shares to EQUAL WEIGHT from UNDERWEIGHT. The firm also raised the stock's price target to $32 from $20. This year, Zillow shares are up 37 percent.
