Breaking: US launches aditional air strikes targeting ISIS in Iraq

The US has launched two additional air strikes against militants from the Islamic State (IS) group in northern Iraq, the Pentagon has said.

 US drones and unmanned fighter jets attacked targets near the city of Irbil - a similar location to the first strike earlier on Friday.

 In the second wave of strikes, US drones destroyed a mortar position and killed a group of militants, the Pentagon said.

 Then just over an hour later, F/A-18 jets used laser-guided bombs to hit a seven-vehicle convoy of IS vehicles, spokesman Rear Admiral John Kirby said.
