Summary from multiple countries, from articles in English
[UPDATED] (see summary with new information since yesterday)
Iraqi President Jalal Talabani insisted at a reconciliation conference that the Shiite- and Kurdish-dominated government would not meet with Baath Party members who are participating in the Sunni-led insurgency attacking Iraqi and U.S.-led forces in the country. (article 4) High tension has marked the first day of a meeting of Iraq's political and religious leaders to discuss plans for a future reconciliation conference. (article 6) The conference is the first step in a nascent process, initiated by the Arab League at the urging of Saudi Arabia, that is meant to culminate early next year with a national peace and reconciliation conference in Baghdad. (article 2) In the deadliest attack Saturday, a suicide bomber detonated his car among Shiite mourners at a funeral in a small town north of the capital. (article 3) Iraqi Prime Minister Ibrahim Jaafari and Arab League chief Amr Moussa, the host of the three-day meeting, reported progress after the talks made a shaky start on Saturday with a walk-out threat by the largest Shi'ite Muslim alliance. (article 1) CAIRO, Egypt - Shiite and Kurdish delegates stormed out of an Iraqi reconciliation conference Saturday after a speaker accused others of being beholden to the United States, briefly halting the effort to patch over Iraq's ethnic and religious fault lines. (article 5)
