BAGHDAD, March 10 (Reuters) - An Iranian delegation attending a meeting in Iraq aimed at stopping sectarian fighting arrived in the conference hall on Saturday and took their seats without making any direct contact with U.S. delegates.

Iraq called the Baghdad meeting of regional and Western powers to enlist support to stop violence but attention is likely to be focused on the United States sitting down with Syria and Iran both accused by Washington of fuelling the Iraq war.
