(单词翻译:双击或拖选)

Shia militias¹ in Iraq have kidnapped and killed scores of Sunni civilians² in recent months, a report by campaign group Amnesty International has said.

国际特赦组织的一份报告显示，近几个月以来，伊拉克的什叶派民兵绑架并杀害了大量逊尼派平民。

The killings³ were in apparent revenge for attacks by Islamic State (IS).

Amnesty said the militias had been supported and armed by the Iraqi government and operated with impunity⁴.

Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, who took office last month, has admitted to previous "excesses" by security forces and vowed⁵ to govern for all Iraqis.

On Monday, the United Nations warned that as many as 180,000 people had fled fighting between Iraqi forces and IS militants⁶ in and around the city of Hit in western Anbar province.

US President Barack Obama and military chiefs from more than 20 countries are meeting in Washington to discuss how to stop IS in Iraq and Syria.

Correspondents say it is the first time such high-ranking military officials from so many countries have come together since the US-led coalition⁷ was formed last month.

Air strikes have failed to stop IS advancing on the northern Syrian Kurdish town of Kobane - close to the Turkish border - where it has been battling Kurdish forces for several weeks.
