The battle for Falluja

As the Iraqi forces' attempt to recapture the city of Falluja from Islamic State militants continues, there are concerns over how the Shia militias fighting alongside the army will treat Falluja's residents -- the majority of whom are Sunnis -- if they enter the city. Mowaffak al-Rubaie, an Iraqi MP and former national security adviser, says the concerns are baseless.
