The Islamic State terror threat to the West will increase if the Kurdish Peshmerga are not given more help fighting the Islamist militants, their commander has warned.

Speaking exclusively to Sky News on the eve of a major conference, Lieutenant General Jabar Manda delivered a message to the 21 foreign ministers gathering in London.

"We need more equipment, we need new weapons and we need the air strikes," he said.

"We need the continuous support and training. We are in need of ammunition. We need new weapons to win this war."

He thanked the British military for their help training his troops and said it has helped the Peshmerga push IS fighters back.

Despite this, 800 Kurdish soldiers have been killed and 4,000 wounded because of insufficient protection and Lt Gen Manda said armoured cars are needed to stop so many soldiers being killed.

He also said that stores of ammunition are decreasing after an early rush of donors.

"IS is an international terrorist group threatening all over the world just like we saw in France. They are threatening America and Britain and other countries," he said.
