BAGHDAD, Sept 13 (Reuters) - Iraq's Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said on Saturday that he ordered his air force to halt strikes on civilian areas, comments that followed government attacks this year which rights groups say have indiscriminately targeted civilians. "I have ordered the Iraqi Air force to halt shelling of civilian areas even in those towns controlled by ISIS," he said on his official Twitter account, using the former name for militant group Islamic State.
