Iran’s Ahmadinejad cancels planned visit to Iraq

Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has cancelled a planned visit to Baghdad after his Iraqi counterpart Jalal Talabani suffered a stroke, Press TV reports. 

The Iranian president was scheduled to pay an official visit to Iraq late in December to hold talks with senior Iraqi officials on ways to bolster bilateral cooperation.

Ahmadinejad was also expected to meet with members of Iraqi factions and sects and pay visits to Iraq's holy shrines where Shia Imams and their descendants have been put to rest.
