Feb 27 (Reuters) - U.S. envoy Tom Barrack met former Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, the Shi’ite alliance’s candidate for premier, on Friday, two sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.

Maliki has been nominated by a powerful Shi’ite bloc to return to the post, but the United States has warned it would reconsider support for Iraq if he is chosen again.
