Exiled Iraqi leaders to meet religious and community representatives |

Exiled Iraqi leaders were today being flown into the country to meet
religious and community representatives. Talks in the town of
Nasiriya have been designed as the first of many meetings before an
interim Iraqi government is formed. They have been organised by
American general Tommy Franks, and were to be chaired by Zalmay
Khalilzad, who helped set up the new government in Afghanistan. But a
leading Muslim group, the Iranian-based Supreme Council for the
Islamic Revolution in Iraq, is boycotting the meeting in protest at
the US role.
