we're not scared, he told us. we fought many wars, wars with iran, even the united states. many of those in the mosque won't be able to remember a time when there wasn't war. now it's just a question of how bad it gets. it may be hard to believe, but some of the people we spoke to said they still have faith in the iraqi army to stop isis. many more are putting their faith in god. but one common belief they all shareholder was the idea if isis were to reach baghdad, it could mark the start of an all out civil war. charlie d'agata, cbs news, baghdad. in ukraine government troops forced rebel troops from slovyansk, major city they had held for four months. the ukrainians had kept control. the separatists have regrouped
