Reuters: Tensions run high in Iraq over disputed Kirkuk
More than 1,000 Sunni Arabs and Turkomen staged a demonstration Saturday to protest calls by Kurds to annex the oil-rich city of Kirkuk to their autonomous region as Iraqi officials met in Baghdad to defuse tension over the disputed city.
Iraqi lawmakers are to meet Sunday in a special session of parliament aimed at resolving a power-sharing disagreement in Kirkuk, which has blocked legislation approving U.S.-backed provincial elections.
