伊拉克总理阿巴迪和打击伊斯兰国联盟成员国外长星期二在巴黎举行会议,讨论夺回伊拉克安巴尔省控制权的计划。

在举行此次会议的两星期前,伊斯兰国激进分子攻占了位于巴格达以西125公里的安巴尔省首府拉马迪,阿巴迪总理呼吁民兵赶赴该地区,参加上星期发动的反攻。

美国国务院一名高层官员说,此次会议的重点将是阿巴迪争取逊尼派部落战斗人员参与打击安巴尔省的激进分子。安巴尔省的居民以逊尼派穆斯林为主。

美国国务卿克里将从美国远程参加会议的讨论。此前他在法国骑自行车时发生事故,导致腿部骨折,随后回国接受治疗。

美国副国务卿布林肯将率代表团出席会议。阿拉伯联盟将讨论数月来旨在“削弱和摧毁”伊斯兰国的更大范围的行动,包括切断该组织的资金来源以及阻止外国战斗人员进入伊拉克和叙利亚。

Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi and foreign ministers from a coalition of countries that have been helping his forces fight Islamic State militants are meeting Tuesday in Paris to discuss plans for retaking control of Iraq's Anbar province.

The talks come two weeks after the Islamic State group seized Ramadi, a provincial capital 125 kilometers west of Baghdad, prompting Mr. Abadi to call on militias to rush to the area to take part in a counter offensive that launched last week.

A senior U.S. State Department official said there will be a focus on the prime minister getting Sunni tribal fighters to take part in the fight against the militants in the predominantly Sunni province.

Secretary of State John Kerry will take part in the meetings remotely after breaking his leg in a bicycle crash in France and returning home for treatment.

Deputy Secretary of State Anthony Blinken will lead the U.S. delegation as the coalition discusses the months-long broader efforts to "degrade and destroy" the Islamic State group, including cutting off financing and the flow of foreign fighters to Iraq and Syria.
