France urges 'global fight' against ISIS/ISIL. (Islamic State group poses a security threat the world over)

French President Francois Hollande has called for a global response to counter the Islamic State group, saying it posed a security threat the world over as he opened a conference on Iraq, bringing together members of a US-led coalition.
"[The threat] is global so the response must be global," the French leader said, opening a Paris conference of some 30 countries aimed at coordinating a strategy against the group, which has taken control of parts of Northern Iraq and has a power base in Syria.

Foreign ministers from the main European states, the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, Iraq's neighbours and Gulf Arab states Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and the UAE, are in Paris to discuss broad political, security and humanitarian aspects of tackling IS.

"In holding this conference, the countries meeting today are showing their solidarity and the will to protect themselves against terrorism," Hollande added in a joint news conference with Iraqi President Fouad Massoum.
Massoum said the IS fighters were responsible for some of the worst atrocities committed in Iraq's history.
"We should spend more efforts, and therefore we ask to continue the air strikes against the terrorist positions. We will not give them any safe haven," Massoum added.
Al Jazeera's Nadim Baba, reporting from Paris, said that the statements released by the two leaders were not specific in terms of military action.
"What is really crucial is not who is going to carry out the air strikes but who will provide financial and military assistance. Can it be effective without the involvement of Iran? What we can expect to happen is more and more Arab states will promise cash and soldiers ... How many states will provide direct military assistance is the question?".......................http://www.aljazeera.com
