President Obama Rules Out Putting US Troops Back on the Ground in Iraq
Islamist militants in Iraq have seized two new towns, widening their control after threatening to move on Baghdad.
The Sunni-led Islamists advanced into Saadiya and Jalawla, and surrounding areas, as security forces abandoned their posts.
The US says it is looking at "all options", including military action, to help Iraq fight the insurgency.
