By Atul Prakash LONDON (Reuters) - European shares fell on Wednesday, mirroring losses in the United States and Asia, as fears violence in Iraq could escalate further prompted investors to take refuge in safer assets such as German bonds. The FTSEurofirst 300 index of top European shares fell 0.7 percent to a three-week low, while Germany's benchmark DAX shares index was down 0.6 percent by 0753 GMT. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry urged leaders of Iraq's autonomous Kurdish region on Tuesday to stand with Baghdad in the face of a Sunni insurgent onslaught that threatens to dismember the country.
