Kurdish Party Praises London Meeting Iraq Report
July 22, 2002 The Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) had welcomed the results of the London meeting of former Iraqi military officers, the London-based, pan-Arab newspaper "Al-Hayat" reported on 17 July. A PUK source had told the newspaper of the party's "appreciation" for "the efforts being made by the officers." The Kurdish newspaper "Hawlati" reported on 15 July that PUK leader Jalal Talabani had arrived secretly in Jordan on 13 July. Quoting the Kuwaiti newspaper "al-Qabas," the Kurdish newspaper said that Talabani arrived from Saudi Arabia where he had spent several days. A Saudi source had said that Talabani went to perform umra (out-of-season pilgrimage) and had not met any Saudi officials. Before arriving in Saudi Arabia, Talabani was reported to have visited Iran for a meeting with Ayatollah Mohammad Baqir al-Hakim, head of the Iraqi Shia opposition, the Supreme Council of the Islamic Revolution in Iraq.
