BAGHDAD, Nov 19 (Reuters) - Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Moualem is expected to fly to Baghdad on Sunday, Iraqi Foreign Ministry officials said, for a rare visit by a senior Arab official since the fall of Saddam Hussein.

The U.S. and Iraqi governments have complained that Damascus is failing to help stop Sunni Arab insurgents who they say are partly equipped and funded through Syria.

Britain has urged the U.S. administration to seek Syrian help in Iraq, despite frosty relations between Washington and Damascus. (Baghdad bureau, editing by Andrew Dobbie))
