Kerry: 'Isis is threat to entire region'

Isis is "a threat not only to Iraq but to the entire region" the US Secretary of State John Kerry has said.

Mr Kerry was speaking at the start of a Middle East tour after talks in Cairo with Egypt's new President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi.

"This is a critical moment where together we must urge Iraq's leaders to rise above sectarian motivations", he continued.
