( Reuters ) - Turkish and Iraqi officials said on Saturday there were no plans for further talks between Turkey and an Iraqi delegation visiting Ankara to seek an agreement on cracking down on Kurdish rebels based in northern Iraq.

Turkey rejected a series of proposals on Friday evening offered by Iraqi Defence Minister General Abdel Qader Jassim as insufficient and taking too long to take effect.

The officials, who declined to be named, told Reuters the Iraqi delegation, which included U.S. military and Iraqi Kurdish regional government officials, would leave Turkey around midday.
