War on ISIS: US Secretary of State, Kerry, Visits Iraq

By Correspondent

 US Secretary of State John Kerry made an unannounced visit to Baghdad on Friday for talks with top Iraqi officials on the war against the Islamic State jihadist group. Kerry will meet Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, Foreign Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari, and Nechirvan Barzani, the prime minister of Iraq’s autonomous Kurdish region, State Department spokesman John Kirby said. ”˜He will underscore our strong support for the Iraqi government as it addresses significant security, economic, and political challenges,’ Kirby said. Iraq is battling ISIS, which overran swathes of territory north and west of Baghdad in 2014, in a campaign that has been hit hard by plummeting world prices for oil, on which it relies for the vast majority of its revenues.
