So far, 180 of 300 troops promised by President Barack Obama have arrived in the country. That's 90 advisers and 90 who are setting up an operations and intelligence analysis unit.

A handful of Predators armed with Hellfire missiles are being used over the capital for the new force protection mission, a senior defence official said. The official was not authorized to discuss the new flights on the record and requested anonymity.

Officials stressed that Obama still has not authorized airstrikes against Sunni militants who have been overrunning territory in other parts of the country.
