Sunni insurgents seize Qaim and Rawah amid Iraqi crisis
Sunni fighters led by an al Qaeda breakaway group expanded their western Iraq offensive capturing the border crossing at Qaim and the Euphrates town of Rawah. The gains deepen the divide with Prime Minister al Maliki as Shiite militias parade in southern cities and Kurdish and Sunni leaders press for inclusive governance. The fighting disrupts the Baghdad highway to Jordan and signals a looming sectarian clash across Anbar province.
