An Iranian diplomat said that Iranian, Iraqi and U.S. officials will meet Monday to discuss forming a "tripartite" security panel, an Iranian news agency reported. The diplomat, ambassador to Iraq Hassan Kazemi Qomi, was quoted in the government-run Islamic Republic News Agency on Saturday.
The Iraqi government came up with the idea of a "security subcommittee" after hosting meetings in Baghdad between Iran and the United States.
U.S. Ambassador to Iraq Ryan Crocker said such an entity would be designed to help with border issues, militias and terrorism.
IRNA paraphrased Qomi as saying the "third round of talks will focus on expert views on composition of the committee on Monday."
The Bush administration has maintained that Iranian elements are involved in training and equipping militants in Iraq. Iran denies the charge.
