In other Iraq news, details have been revealed on previously undisclosed talks between US officials and militant Iraqi groups earlier this year. Participants say State Department officials met with at least three insurgent representatives in Turkey in March and April. The militant leaders reportedly submitted four demands: a US apology for the invasion and occupation of Iraq, the release of all prisoners in US custody, a pledge for Iraq’s reconstruction, and support for the militants’ entry into Iraq’s political mainstream. A third round of talks was planned for June but didn’t occur.
