WASHINGTON
(Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama discussed Iraq and the violent
rise of a Sunni insurgent group there in a telephone call on Wednesday
with Saudi Arabian King Abdullah, the White House said.
Obama thanked the Saudi king for his $500 million pledge to help Iraqis
displaced by an upsurge in violence as militants from the Islamic State
of Iraq and the Levant seized provinces in the north and west of Iraq,
it said in a statement.
