Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki warned that the offensive by Islamist militants his army is fighting could spill over into neighboring states, as the U.S. weighed options on how to counter the insurgents.
“They will flee to you and your countries will also be inflamed with sectarian wars,” Maliki said in a televised speech today, without naming nations he considered at risk. His Shiite Muslim-led government yesterday accused Saudi Arabia, the region’s biggest Sunni power, of providing “moral and material support” for the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant, the group that began its assault by sweeping into Mosul last week.
