IRAN-BACKED SHIA MILITANTS ORDERED TO RECAPTURE IRAQI CITY OF RAMADI CAPTURED BY ISLAMIC STATE

Iran-backed Shia militants have been ordered to recapture the Iraqi city of Ramadi, the capital of Anbar province seized on Sunday by the Islamic State.
The Shia militants known as Hashid Shaabi had in April recaptured from Islamic State the city of Trikit, north of Baghdad.
Shia Militia Commanders say they have order and plans to proceed to Ramadi but didnot disclose when.
Over 500 people are said to have died in several days of fighting in Ramadi which is 70 miles (112KM) west of the capital Baghdad.
US Secretary of State, John Kerry has said in Korea he is convinced that as the forces are and as days flow in to weeks the city of Ramadi could be recaptured.
However, US has raised concern over the use of Shia militants as it could provoke sectarian tension in Sunni areas such as Ramadi
