BAGHDAD, March 2 (Reuters) - Iraqi President Jalal Talabani said on Sunday that Iraq was trying to expel an Iranian rebel group that has a presence in the country, a key demand of Tehran.

"The presence of those terrorists is forbidden by the constitution and we are working to get rid of them," Talabani said of the Mujahadeen e-Khalq group, the largest and most militant group opposed to the Islamic Republic.

Talabani was speaking at a news conference in Baghdad with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
