| Video Discription | Iraq's most senior Shia cleric urges his followers to take up arms to defend themselves against a relentless advance by Sunni militants, in a sharp escalation of a conflict which is threatening civil war and the potential break-up of the country. In a rare intervention at Friday prayers in the holy city of Kerbala, a message from Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, who is the highest religious authority for the Shi'ites in Iraq, was read out by his representative saying that people should unite to fight back against advancing militants from the radical Islamic State of Iraq and the al-Sham. Fighters under the black flag of ISIS captured two more Iraqi towns overnight in a lightning sweep south towards the capital Baghdad in a campaign to recreate a mediaeval caliphate carved out of fragmenting Iraq and Syria. "People who are capable of carrying arms and fighting the terrorists in defence of their country ... should volunteer to join the security forces to achieve this sacred goal," said Sheikh Abdulmehdi al-Karbalai, delivering Sistani's message to the faithful. Those killed fighting ISIS militants would be martyrs, he said as worshippers chanted in acknowledgement.
