BAGHDAD — The al-Qaida-inspired group that led the charge in capturing two key Sunni-dominated cities in Iraq this week vowed on Thursday to march on to Baghdad, raising fears about the Shiite-led government's ability to slow the assault following the insurgents' lightning gains.
Fighters from the militant group k**wn as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant took Saddam Hussein's hometown (http://mashable.com/2014/06/11/islamist-insurgents-seize-saddam-hometown/?utm_medium=feed&utm_source=rss) of Tikrit on Wednesday as soldiers and security forces abandoned their posts and yielded ground once controlled by U.S. troops.
