Politics
Former Iraqi Vice-President Izzat Ibrahim al-Duri has urged his followers from the Ba'th Party to reject any contacts with the Americans or the current Iraqi government. This call came in a letter, which was posted on the website of the Iraqi News Agency, and which coincides with an expected meeting that will bring together US President George Bush, Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, and armed political groups, including the Ba'th Party, in the Jordanian capital, Amman, with the aim of ending violence.
