    Obama In Iraq Talks Over IS 'Common Enemy'


    The US president speaks on the phone to Haider al Abadi as the Iraqi parliament swears in a new government in Baghdad.

    Barack Obama has held talks with Iraq's new Prime Minister to discuss the country's fledgling new government's fight against Islamic State militants.

    In a telephone on Monday, The US President and Haider al Abadi spoke about the need to address grievances that have triggered violence in Iraq.

    In a statement the White House said: "The President and the Prime Minister agreed on the importance of having the new government quickly take concrete steps to address the aspirations and legitimate grievances of the Iraqi people.

    "The Prime Minister expressed his commitment to work with all communities in Iraq as well as regional and international partners to strengthen Iraq's capabilities to fight against this common enemy."

    Iraq's parliament officially named Mr al Abadi as the country's Prime Minister and approved most of his proposed candidates for cabinet roles, including members of the country's minority Sunni and Kurdish communities.

    The West has been pushing Iraq for a more representative government that will ease anger among Sunnis who felt marginalised by former Prime Minister Nouri al Maliki and his administration.

    The anger among Sunnis has helped to fuel the seizure of territory by the Islamic State (IS), also known as ISIS and ISIL, across much of north and western Iraq since June.

    US Secretary of State John Kerry said the formation of a new government in Baghdad was a "major milestone" for Iraq.
    He said: "Overcoming the obstacle of ethnic and sectarian divides, the Iraqi parliament approved a new and inclusive government, one that has the potential to unite all of Iraq's diverse communities for a strong Iraq, a united Iraq, and to give those communities the chance to build the future that all Iraqis desire and deserve."

    Mr Kerry is set to travel to the region later to discuss the formation of a "coalition of partners around the globe to confront, degrade and ultimately defeat ISIL".

    Mr Obama is expected to address the US approach against IS during his speech on Wednesday - the 13th anniversary of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

    On Monday an IS suicide bomber killed 16 people after he drove a explosive-filled Humvee, stolen from the Iraqi military, into a Sunni tribe meeting in Dhuluiya.

    Iraqi security forces retook the town of Barwana, northwest of Baghdad. The US military also carried out five airstrikes on Sunday and Monday, using drones and attack fighters to defend the Haditha dam and Irbil.
