| Iraq recalls envoy to Jordon |
| 2014-07-19 |
| [Iraq Sun] Iraq Friday recalled its ambassador to Jordan for consultations, following a meeting of Sunni leaders in the country. Iraq decided to call its ambassador in Amman Jawad Abbas back for consultations, Xinhua quoted the country's foreign ministry as saying in a statement without giving more details. Analysts say this move could be seen as a sign of protest after Iraqi Sunni leaders held a meeting in Jordan and described the current insurgency in Iraq as a "popular revolt". Iraqi Sunni leaders in exile Wednesday downplayed a Sunni Islamist uprising led by Islamic State turbans, portraying the violence as a fightback against the incumbent Shiite-led government. |
