Amman, Nov 30: US President George W Bush began crunch talks with Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki in Jordan today on ways to try to stem sectarian carnage threatening to tear Iraq apart, officials said.

Their breakfast meeting came a day after US officials insisted the Iraqi leader was not offended by a critical White House memo and had not snubbed the US president in Amman.
