Baghdad, Ramadan 21, 1435, Jul 18, 2014, SPA -- Iraqi President Jalal Talabani, who spent a year and a half in Germany for treatment following a stroke, is due to return home Saturday, dpa reported. The 80-year-old Kurdish politician fell ill in December 2012 and was transferred to Berlin for treatment. Talabani became Iraq's first Kurdish president in 2005. His return to Iraq will come just a few days before lawmakers are due to elect a new president. --SPA 20:44 LOCAL TIME 17:44 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
