Biden calls on Iraq leaders to reconcile factions
Iraq has a hard road ahead if it is to heal the divisions that spurred six years of bloodshed and achieve lasting peace, US Vice President Joe Biden said during a trip there on Friday.
Biden, who President Barack Obama has asked to take the lead in the White House in coordinating Iraq policy, spent a day in meetings with Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki and officials from across the ethnic and sectarian divide. (Reuters)
