Britain and America should launch attacks to defeat Islamic State militants as soon as possible, Iraq’s ambassador said, as Barack Obama prepared to outline his war plan to destroy the extremists. Baghdad’s ambassador to London said the damage inflicted on his country by rampaging fighters loyal to the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (Isil) was growing daily and Iraq could not be rebuilt until they were defeated. Faik Nerweyi called for immediate action, saying he wanted to see a Western backed military campaign begin “yesterday” and warned there was little time to waste. “The danger is real, it is imminent and every day that passes, we are losing a terrible amount,” he told The Telegraph.
