CAIRO — The Arab League team preparing the ground for an Iraqi national reconciliation conference headed for Baghdad yesterday for new consultations, sources at the pan-Arab body said.
The seven-man team headed by Algerian Ahmed Ben Helli is expected to hold fresh talks aimed at defusing sectarian tensions in the war-torn country.
A wider preparatory meeting is expected to be held in mid-November in Cairo.
Arab League chief Amr Moussa travelled to Iraq on October 20 to promote the initiative and discuss it with the country’s leaders.
