Members of the new Iraqi Parliament attend a session at the Parliament headquarters in Baghdad, November 11, 2010. Iraq’s fractious politicians have agreed to return Shi’ite Nuri al-Maliki as prime minister, ending an eight-month deadlock that raised fears of renewed sectarian war, but leaving some Sunnis sceptical he can forge national unity. The pact on top government posts brings together Shi’ites, Sunnis and Kurds in a power-sharing arrangement similar to the last Iraqi government and could help prevent a slide back into the sectarian bloodshed that raged after the 2003 U.S.-led invasion.
