BAGHDAD, Feb 9 (Reuters) - Iraq's main Sunni Arab bloc has agreed to rejoin Iraq's Shi'ite-led government after key demands for returning were met, two officials from the bloc said on Saturday.

"The Accordance Front has decided to return to the government. The results of the negotiations with the government have been positive," Adnan al-Dulaimi, the head of the bloc, told Reuters.

The Front pulled its six ministers out of the cabinet of Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki in August, plunging the government into crisis.
