While Davuoğlu informed al-Nujayfi about Turkey's recent contacts regarding Iraq, al-Nujayfi informed the Turkish Minister about his contacts with the U.S. government.
According to information from diplomatic sources, Davutoğlu expressed his dismay about the bombings that occurred in Baghdad yesterday. Two simultaneous explosions took place during rush hour. One of the attacks was carried out near the entrance of the Green Zone in Baghdad, with a bomb-laden truck. The other was carried out at a restaurant in downtown Baghdad by a suicide bomber, killing nine and injuring 16 people. No group has claimed responsibility for the attacks.
Al-Nujayfi will be leaving for Iraq later in the evening.
