‘Reconciliation in Iraq’ summit urges US troops withdrawal

By: Sultan Ahmed

BOGOR, Indonesia: At a conference aimed at encouraging reconciliation in Iraq, Muslim clerics from around the world called for the withdrawal of US troops from Iraq.

Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono hosted the two-day (Tuesday – Wednesday) gathering.

Clerics from countries including Iran, Lebanon, Jordan and Malaysia attended, but with no clerics from Iraq there will be doubts over how much influence the initiative is likely to have.

"The conference urged the withdrawal of foreign coalition forces led by the US in a timely, orderly and peaceful manner," the meeting's closing statement, which was in Arabic, said.
