— -- 1. ISIS Must Be Stopped for 'Our Own Sake,' Says Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi

Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi fears that "no army in the region" can stand in the way of ISIS "if they are allowed to continue," telling ABC's "This Week" in an exclusive interview that the terror group must be stopped for "our own sake."
