Iraq: Arab Sunni tribes rise against Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL)
Arab Sunni Tribes in the restive Province of Diyala have mobilized their tribesmen to defend their areas against any possible penetration by ISIL, the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant.
ISIL, which is affiliated to the terror group al-Qaeda, has strengthened positions in the western Province of Anbar, controlling parts of the provincial town, Ramadi, as well as the strategic town of Falluja.
Early this month, its militants stormed the town of Sulaiman Baik in the Province of Salhudeen north of Baghdad raising fears that the group would turn other Sunni Muslim-dominated provinces into strongholds.
But ISIL lost Sulaiman Baik with scores of its militants killed or captured.
