Iraq PM calls for "stand" against Qaeda gunmen
None
Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki called on Wednesday for residents of the conflict-hit province of Anbar to "take a stand" against Al-Qaeda-linked fighters, as the UN warned of worsening displacement.
Government forces continued to press assaults against militants who overran parts of the Anbar provincial capital Ramadi more than three weeks ago, while violence elsewhere in Iraq killed eight people. (AFP)
