Iraqis fleeing violence in the Nineveh province wait in their vehicles at a Kurdish checkpoint in Aski kalak, 40 kms West of Arbil, the capital of the autonomous Kurdish region of northern Iraq, on June 10, 2014. Suspected jihadists seized Iraq’s entire northern province of Nineveh and its capital Mosul, the country’s second-largest city, in a major blow to authorities, who appear incapable of stopping militant advances.
