BAGHDAD, Aug 30 (KUNA) -- US Vice President Joe Biden arrived in the Iraqi capital on Monday on a mission said to be linked to ongoing diplomatic efforts for forming a new government.

A well-informed source told KUNA that Biden's mission is aimed at narrowing the gulf among the diverse political trends for speeding up the formation of a cabinet. Biden will hold talks with the top officials on this issue, he said.

It is Biden's second visit to Iraq since the legislative elections, held in March. It also coincided with the end of the combat missions of the American forces in the country.

Biden has recently expressed optimism on prospected conditions in the country and said bids by the insurgency group, Al-Qaeda, to foment sectarian discords "have ended in failure." Addressing veteran US soldiers at the Indiana base, the vice president said the Iranian influence on the Iraqi arena is limited. (end) ah.rk KUNA 302013 Aug 10NNNN

They use the "diplomatic process" as an excuse to prolong the suffering of their own people in pursuit of their own personal agenda.
