US deploying 275 troops to Iraq, considering special forces soldiers


Shiite tribal fighters raise their weapons and chant slogans against the al-Qaida-inspired Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) in Basra, Iraq's second-largest city, 340 miles southeast of Baghdad, Iraq, Sunday, June 15, 2014.
