Christian militia prepares to fight in Iraq

Militants of the so-called Islamic State have been losing some ground in recent weeks to Kurdish fighters in northern Iraq and Syria. That gives some hope to the hundreds of thousands of refugees in northern Iraq that they may one day be able to return home. Religious and ethnic minorities now living as refugees are preparing to defend their territory if they get it back. Dan Damon has been hearing from members of a growing Christian militia being formed in the Nineveh plain.
