Which is al qaeda cell posing imminent threats to conduct terror in US and western countries.  This will eventually lead to ground troops in Iraq and Syria.  The question comes who will lead the ground troops?

 

PM Abadi promised to be more inclusive than Maliki.  He said for the fight against terrorism to succeed, Iraq’s Sunnis must turn against ISIL and its supporters.  Iraqi armed forces and Kurdish peshmerga are expected to lead the ground offensives but Sunni tribesmen are needed to participate as well to ensure the isolation of ISIS.  Iraqi security forces reported it foiled another attempt by ISIL to storm Beiji refinery north of Tikrit.
