Kurdish rebels and Baghdad study tentative democracy autonomy pact
Kurdish leader Massoud Barzani said government leaders reached in principle on full democracy for Iraq and Kurdish autonomy but left open the size and mechanics of the autonomous region. No date for a formal pact was given as refugees may be urged home from camps in Turkey and Iran. Iraqi troops pulled back from Dohuk outskirts, signaling possible talks with U.S. forces. A clash near the allied zone left a U.S. helicopter damaged but not struck.
