Iraq's Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki (R) meets Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas during his visit to Baghdad April 5,2009. Abbas made his first visit to Iraq since the U.S.-led invasion in 2003. Only 15,000 Palestinians live in Iraq at the moment, down from 35,000 in 2003 -- the result of numerous attacks by the Shiite militias. (UPI Photo)
