Post-Islamic State Iraq should be split in three - top Kurdish official

By Maher Chmaytelli and Isabel Coles
ERBIL, Iraq, Jun 16 (Reuters) Once Islamic State is defeated, Iraq should be divided into three separate entities to prevent further sectarian bloodshed, with a state each given to Shi'ite Muslims, Sunnis and Kurds, a top Kurdish official said today.
Iraqi troops have expelled Islamic State from some key cities the militants seized in 2014, and are advancing on Mosul, the largest city under IS control. Its fall would likely mean the end of the group's self-proclaimed caliphate.
