BAGHDAD (AP) — The latest on Iraqi government's move to take control of disputed territories held by Iraqi Kurds outside their autonomous region (all times local): 2:50 a.m. Iraqi state media say federal troops have entered disputed territories occupied by the nation's Kurds. The move comes three years after Kurdish militias seized the areas outside their autonomous region to defend against an advance by the Islamic State extremist group. Al-Iraqiya TV says the military, anti-terrorist units and federal police have taken control of some areas around the oil-rich city of Kirkuk.
