   (Reuters) - Militant group Islamic State has ordered all girls   
   and women in and around Iraq's northern city of Mosul to undergo   
   female genital mutilation, the United Nations said on Thursday.   
      
   The "fatwa" issued by the Sunni Muslim fighters would   
   potentially affect 4 million women and girls, U.N. resident and   
   humanitarian coordinator in Iraq Jacqueline Badcock told   
   reporters in Geneva by videolink from Arbil.   
      
   "This is something very new for Iraq, particularly in this area,   
   and is of grave concern and does need to be addressed," she said.   
      
   "This is not the will of Iraqi people, or the women of Iraq in   
   these vulnerable areas covered by the terrorists," she added.   
      
   No one was immediately available for comment from Islamic State   
   which has led an offensive through northern and western Iraq.
