‘Iraqi Sunni Sheikhs’... In Anbar... Pledge Allegiance To ISIS....

The pledge of allegiance marks the first time since the rise of the ISIS in Iraq that a Sunni tribe formally declared its alliance.”

Tribes in Anbar had provided cash, weapons and intelligence to ISIS during the battle for Ramadi, giving their fellow Sunni Muslims the upper hand against the Iraqi security forces.

ISIS now holds a huge swath of Iraq stretching from the Syrian border east to the outskirts of Baghdad and north to Mosul

Looks like ISIS continues to consolidate their power throughout the regions.
