Iraq's Sunni Vice-President, Tariq al-Hashemi, has denied any wrongdoing, a day after a warrant was issued for his arrest on terrorism-related charges.
Mr Hashemi was accused of funding attacks on officials and police.
He said he was "ready to face trial", but only in Iraq's semi-autonomous northern Kurdish region, AFP reports.
There are concerns the case could further raise tensions between Mr Hashemi's Sunni Arab community and the Shia-led national government.
