President Barack Obama could ask the U.S. Congress in coming weeks to approve new funds for airstrikes against Islamic State targets, following the militants' beheading of an American journalist and activities in Iraq.

The request would come as some influential members of Congress call on Obama to step up U.S. http://yhoo.it/1BMEBxd http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ
