National reconciliation meeting postponed
Security
A national reconciliation conference in Iraq has been postponed indefinitely for "emergency reasons." The announcement was made today by the Ministry of State for National Dialogue. The conference, which was meant to be a forum for representatives of Iraq's different sects and ethnicities to meet, was scheduled for October 21. It had already been postponed several times amid raging sectarian and insurgent violence in Iraq.
