Arab League invites Iraq factions for Nov. 19 meet

"BAGHDAD, Nov 9 (Reuters) - Iraqi politicians from different factions will be invited to visit Cairo on Nov. 19 for a preparatory meeting before a planned national reconciliation conference, a senior Arab League official said on Wednesday.

An Arab League delegation has been visiting Baghdad to persuade politicians from Iraq's Shi'ite, Sunni Arab, Kurdish and other communities to attend the conference which had originally been planned for Nov. 15.

Billed as a way to heal deep sectarian rifts in post-Saddam Iraq a month before elections, the conference was put off while organisers tried to lure more people to the table."
