Fighting between the Iraqi military and radical Sunni Muslims spread Sunday to a new centre in northern Iraq as an aide of Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki denied that Iranian forces had come to the beleaguered premier's aide.
Fierce clashes erupted between government troops and fighters from the jihadist Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), which attempted to capture the town of Tel Afar west of the rebel-held city of Mosul, informs DPA.
