A deep network of underground tunnels have been uncovered in Iraq, revealing how ISIS (so-called Islamic State, IS, ISIL or Daesh) have been carefully maintaining escape routes for its terrorists as they try to avoid airstrikes.
The tunnels remain in a precarious state with concerns remaining that parts of the labyrinth of corridors may have been rigged with explosives, according to Daily Mail.
The discovery was made more surprising when soldiers investigating the tunnels found that ISIS had even wired the chambers with electricity.

On 17 December, Peshmerga forces, backed by U.S.-led coalition airstrikes on ISIL positions, launched an offensive to liberate Sinjar and to break that partial ISIL siege of the Sinjar Mountains. In less than two days, the Peshmerga seized the mountain range. After ISIL forces retreated, Kurdish fighters were initially faced with clearing out mines around the area, but quickly opened a land corridor to those mountains, enabling Yazidis to be evacuated. The operation left 100 ISIL terrorists dead.

Late on 21 December, Syrian Kurdish YPG fighters south of the mountain range reached Peshmerga lines, thus linking their two fronts. The next day, the YPG broke through ISIL lines, thus opening a corridor from Syria to the town of Sinjar. By the evening, the Peshmerga took control of much of Sinjar.

During ISIS attacks to Sinjar, more than 5,000 Yazidi women captured and forced into sexual slavery. UN estimates ISIS still holds an estimated 3,500 people captive in Iraq, the majority being Yazidi women and girls.
