Iraqi lawmakers ended their session Saturday without agreeing on an election law raising concerns about the country's ability to carry out the crucial election as planned. The election law has been stalled for weeks as lawmakers argue over how to apportion votes in the oil-rich city of Kirkuk, a city claimed by both Arabs and Kurds.(AP Photo/Khalid Mohammed)
