Iraq refused a PA delegation

Eric Silver reports for the Independent (in Jerusalem): "Ayman Abu Laila, a spokesman for the Palestinian Authority's Ministry of Refugee Affairs, said the Iraqi government would not let them send a delegation to Baghdad to find a solution." [it is unclear when this request was made and refused]. "Officials in Ramallah said at least 180 Palestinians had been murdered in Iraq since the fall of Saddam Hussein."
