John Kerry Says World Cannot Watch IS Evil Spread.

The world cannot watch the spread of "evil" from the Islamic State militant group, US Secretary of State John Kerry has said in a news

conference in Iraq.
Mr Kerry, on a Middle East tour, said IS was the "single greatest threat" the people of Iraq now face.
He said there would be a global plan to defeat IS, but the new Iraq government must be the "engine" of that fight.
IS has seized large areas of northern Iraq, overrunning the army and gaining backing from some disaffected Sunnis.
Meanwhile, at least 13 people died in a series of car bombs in east Baghdad.

The explosions happened minutes apart in the Shia neighbourhood of New Baghdad. At least 20 others were injured.
Mr Kerry made an unannounced visit to the Iraqi capital Baghdad at the start of a tour of Middle Eastern capitals aimed at boosting military, political and financial support for the fight against IS.
He held talks with Iraq's new Prime Minister Haidar al-Abadi, who appealed for international support to defeat the "cancer" of IS.
"Of course, our role is to defend our country, but the international community is responsible to protect Iraq," Mr Abadi said after meeting Mr Kerry.

The two men also discussed Mr Abadi's plans for his new government.
The prime minister, a Shia, has promised to devolve more power to Sunnis and tackle the central government's relations with the Kurdish minority.
He has also said he will overhaul the military and make it more inclusive.
The US secretary of state said he was "very encouraged" by Mr Abadi's commitment to reform.
"A new and inclusive Iraqi government has to be the engine of global fight against [Islamic State]," Mr Kerry said.
The previous Shia-led government of Nouri Maliki was accused of exacerbating sectarian tension by excluding Sunnis from power and failing to deal with Kurdish demands.
