Iraqi President Jalal Talabani has postponed a trip
to Iran because of a curfew imposed on the capital
in
response to recent violence.
On Saturday, US forces say they killed 10 insurgents
in a raid on a bomb-making facility north of
Baghdad.
Mr Talabani had been due to meet Iran President
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for talks on Iraq's security
situation.
Earlier, Mr Talabani said an all-party conference
convened after Thursday's wave of bombings had been
a success.
He said he might go to Tehran on Sunday if Baghdad's
airport were reopened.
US forces said a teenage boy was also killed and a
pregnant woman wounded during the exchange of fire
in the town of Taji. |

The military said it discovered caches of
rocket-propelled grenades, machine guns, pipe bombs
and anti-aircraft weapons.
They said the weapons were later destroyed in an air
strike.
'Outrage'
Mr Talabani said delegates at the security
conference had agreed to increase co-operation and
to "really" participate in the government of
national unity.
"For the first time we exchanged frank opinions," he
said.
"All parties agreed on the importance of working
together and really participating in [Prime
Minister] Nouri Maliki's government of national
unity."
At least 230 people were killed in two days of
violence in Baghdad.
