Arab League Backs Down on Stance Against Syrian Leader Assad
The leaders of the Arab world are meeting in Baghdad — or at least some of them are.
Representatives from only 10 out of 22 countries have turned up.
For those in attendance, the main subject of Thursday’s Arab League summit is Iraq’s neighbor, Syria.
Reporter Jane Arraf is in Baghdad. She speaks with anchor Marco Werman.
