ISLAMIC STATE CRISIS:

WORLD LEADERS
PLEDGE IRAQ SUPPORT

Thirty countries have pledged
to help Iraq fight Islamic State
(IS) militants "by all means
necessary".

A joint statement by foreign
ministers taking part in a
major conference in Paris said
support would include
"appropriate military
assistance".

The talks had been called to
agree a strategy to combat the
group, which controls large
parts of Iraq and Syria.


Another layer of conflict is being
grafted on to a series of parallel
and overlapping wars in Syria
and Iraq.

Enemies of the Syrian regime,
including Saudi Arabia, will
want to calculate how much
their actions against Islamic State
might strengthen President
Bashar al-Assad - who has men
tied up fighting IS.

Iran and Saudi Arabia, regional
superpowers, back opposing
sides in Syria. They will look
very closely to see if American
actions indirectly help their rival.
