Iraq-Iran summit delayed again by curfew

Baghdad, Nov 26: Iraqi President Jalal Talabani will not fly to Tehran to meet Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad due to an extension of a curfew and closure of Baghdad airport, a spokesman for Talabani said yesterday.

''It's not happening tomorrow,'' Hiwa Othman confirmed after the government extended the curfew imposed on Baghdad after Thurday's bombing, which killed over 200 people. Talabani said yesterday he would not leave until the airport re-opened.
