		</div><p>Iraq’s prime minister has said his country’s forces are capable of defeating Islamic State group without the help of foreign combat forces.</p>
<p>Haider al-Abadi’s statement late on Tuesday came hours after US defence secretary Ash Carter told Congress that a new special operations force will be deployed to Iraq to step up fighting against IS.</p>
<p>The militant group controls a wide swath of Iraq and neighbouring Syria.</p>
<p>Mr al-Abadi said his country needs training, weapons and advice from the international community and not “foreign forces fighting on Iraqi soil”.</p>
<p>He added that such a move needs his government’s approval and full co-ordination.</p>
<p>Mr Carter told the House Armed Services Committee that over time the special operations force will be able to conduct raids, free hostages, gather intelligence and capture IS leaders.</p>
