ISIS shuts dam, uses thirst as weapon of mass distraction-Agence France-Presse 10:12 AM | -wednesday, June 3rd, 2015
BAGHDAD, Iraq – Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) jihadists have closed the gates of a dam in the Iraqi city of Ramadi which they seized last month, posing a humanitarian and security threat, officials said Tuesday.ISIS fighters have repeatedly attempted to control dams in Iraq, in some cases reducing the flow of water to areas under government control or flooding swathes of land to distract and hamper military operations.Anbar provincial council chief Sabah Karhout said ISIS “closed all the gates” at a dam in Ramadi, capital of Iraq’s largest province.The move lowered the level of the Euphrates River and cut water supplies to the areas of Khaldiyah and Habbaniyah to the east, which are some of the last held by pro-government forces in Anbar.The lower water level has also made it easier for ISIS to carry out attacks, Karhout said.He called for the dam to either be quickly retaken or targeted in an air strike.“Cutting the water to Khaldiyah and Habbaniyah will lead to a major humanitarian crisis not only in these areas” but also farther south, said Sheikh Rafa al-Fahdawi, a leader in the Albu Fahad tribe, which is fighting against ISIS.Aoun Dhiyab, a former head of the Iraqi water resources department and an expert in water issues, said “the goal of (ISIS) is not to cut the water, but to reduce the level, to take advantage of it for military purposes.”“When the water level is reduced, it allows them to infiltrate from Ramadi to Khaldiyah and then easily move to other areas,” he said.Iraqi forces have launched a counteroffensive to try to recapture Ramadi but have so far either stopped on the city’s outskirts or focused efforts on severing jihadist supply lines.Read more: http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/695808/isis-shuts-dam-uses-thirst-as-weapon-of-mass-distraction#ixzz3bzolwHbL

South Korea test-fires missile that can strike all of the North-Reuters-june 3,15-yahoonews
SEOUL (Reuters) - South Korea on Wednesday test-launched a new ballistic missile that can hit all of North Korea, the president's office said, developed under a new agreement with the United States that lets Seoul extend the weapon's range to up to 800 km (500 miles).President Park Geun-hye made a rare visit to a missile base on the west coast to watch the launch of the guided missile, which will be a key part of the South's defense against its neighbor's nuclear and missile threat, her office said."The test demonstrated improved ballistic missile capability that can strike all parts of North Korea swiftly, and with precision, in the event of armed aggression or provocation," the presidential Blue House said in a statement.The launch comes a month after the North said it test-fired a submarine-launched ballistic missile. If true, the statement points to progress in the North's missile capabilities, although some experts and U.S. military leaders questioned the authenticity of the North's report.South Korea's missile is the first developed under new guidelines signed with the United States in 2012 to more than double the range of the South's missiles to tackle its disadvantage with Pyongyang's missile capabilities.The North has a deployed arsenal of missiles of various ranges and is believed to be developing an intercontinental ballistic missile aimed at delivering nuclear weapons.In 2012, North Korea successfully launched what is generally considered a long-range rocket, putting what it said was a satellite into orbit. The North called it a space launch vehicle, but the international community said it was a missile that violated U.N. Security Council resolutions.The North is under various sanctions for its missile and three nuclear tests.Besides its missile pact with the United States, South Korea has an agreement limiting the range of the missiles and a pact on civil nuclear energy that bars Seoul from developing atomic weapons.(Reporting by Jack Kim; Editing by Clarence Fernandez)
U.S. envoy: Islamic State risks becoming global menace-Reuters-JUNE 3,15-YAHOONEWS
DOHA (Reuters) - A senior U.S. envoy said on Wednesday the growth of the Islamic State militant group had global implications and could "wreak havoc on the progress of humanity" if unchecked.Retired Gen. John Allen, appointed by U.S. President Barack Obama to build a coalition against Islamic State, told a conference in Qatar the group was not merely an Iraqi problem or a Syrian problem but "a regional problem trending towards global implications".The group has lost about a quarter of the populated areas it once held in Iraq, but countering its ideology might take a generation or more, he told the Brookings Institution's U.S.-Islamic World Forum.Last month, the Iraqi government had its worst military setback in nearly a year when Islamic State seized Ramadi from a weakened Iraqi army. The capital of the overwhelmingly Sunni Muslim province of Anbar is 90 km (55 miles) west of Baghdad.Since then, government troops and allied Shi'ite Muslim militia have been building up positions around Ramadi. Many Iraqi Sunnis dislike the ultra-hardline Islamic State but also fear the Shi'ite militias after years of sectarian strife.Allen said there was no future for Iraq without Sunni support and stressed the need for the government to control the Shi'ite militias, some of whom have links to Iran."We said many times that it is critical that all forces in the battle field must be under the command and control of the government of Iraq for the counter-ISIL operation to be successful," he added, using a common acronym for Islamic State.Washington remained "very attentive and concerned about extremist militia elements frequently influenced by Iranian leadership, where Iran may play a significant role in their presence," he said.He added that Turkey's borders with Syria and Iraq were the "last line of defense" against foreign fighters coming into the conflict - but other countries also needed to help stop the influx.Syrian President Bashar al-Assad should have no place in a solution to Syria's war, he added, repeating Washington's stance on efforts to end the fighting.(Reporting by Amena Bakr and Sami Aboudi; Editing by William Maclean and Katharine Houreld)
