US strikes Islamic State militants at Iraq's Haditha dam
The US has carried out a series of air strikes on Islamic State militants close to the strategic Haditha dam in western Iraq, US officials say.
The action marked a widening of US military action which has previously been restricted to northern Iraq.
On Wednesday, US President Barack Obama will reveal his strategy to defeat IS.
