Heres the summary paragraph on the weeks news in Iraq by the McClatchy News service: Islamic State militants have taken control of key cities in Iraq’s western province of Anbar and have begun to besiege one of the country’s largest military bases in a weeklong offensive that’s brought them within artillery range of Baghdad. In Syria, they continue to threaten the Kurdish town of Kobane on the Turkish border and take other Kurdish villages.
