Iraq, Politics, 5/10/2000

Iraqi sources said the central council of the opposition Iraqi National Congress will convene in London on June 10 with the participation of all the powers that attended the New York conference last year.

Other sources said that a secret meeting was held in Soleimania in March with the participation of 15 factions, among which is the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan headed by Jalal Talibani and the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq headed by Mohammed Baker El-Hakim, as well as some non-participating powers in the New York conference.

In the secret meeting that was held on March 2 and 3 in attendance of the Islamic, Kurdish, democratic, and national powers the participants said the meeting's aim was to merge the national project and not create an alternative to the existing pivots in the Iraqi opposition arena.

The urgent secret meeting established the good neighborhood relations with other countries on the basis of not interfering in Iraq's internal affairs.
