Poll puts Shi'ites and Kurds in control

[jak]

Shi'ite and Kurdish domination of Iraq's parliament were confirmed today by the announcement of official election results, bringing the country's rocky electoral process to a close but heralding a period of intense political wrangling.

.....

The results of the landmark poll, the first since Saddam Hussein was toppled in April 2003 by US-led forces, will lead to the first Shi'ite government in an Arab state in more than 1,000 years, a development that has caused concern among Iraq's Sunni-run Arab neighbours.
