Arab League Foreign Ministers Agree To 'Confront' IS -- Deutsche Welle
Arab states have agreed to take urgent measures to combat 'Islamic State' militants. The Arab League foreign ministers, however, fell short of explicitly backing the US military action against the group.
The Arab League said in a resolution on Monday that it would take "necessary measures" to combat "Islamic State" (IS) on the political, defense, security and legal levels.
The League's Cairo conference also backed the United Nations' decision to impose sanctions on a number of the group's fighters and called on the international community to help defeat the Sunni militant organization.
Nabil Elaraby, the head of the Arab League, said at the opening session of the meeting on Monday that the rise of IS in Iraq threatened not only the authority of the state, but "its very existence and the existence of other states."
