American and Iranian officials met in Baghdad Tuesday for their second round of talks on the situation in Iraq. The London Telegraph reports the two sides agreed to form a security committee with the Iraqi government aimed at targeting Sunni insurgents. But in his first public comments after the talks, U.S. Ambassador Ryan Crocker accused Iran of supporting Shiite insurgents attacking U.S. troops.

U.S. Ambassador Ryan Crocker: “So I was as clear as I could be with the Iranians in saying this has to be measured in results, not in principles or promises, and that thus far the results on the ground are not encouraging.”
