Sunnis Pull Out Of Iraq Talks After Mosque Attack

Two Sunni parliamentary blocs have suspended talks on forming a new Iraqi government to protest an attack on a Sunni mosque that killed at least 64 worshippers during Friday prayers. The blocs affiliated with Parliament Speaker Salim al-Jabouri and Deputy Prime Minister Saleh Al-Mutlak are demanding that outgoing Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and the main Shiite parliamentary bloc hand over the perpetrators within 48 hours and compensate the families of victims. The move poses a major challenge to prime minister-designate Haider al-Abadi, a Shiite who is struggling to cobble together a new government that can confront Sunni militants who have seized much of northern and western Iraq. http://apne.ws/1zkc5Pw http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ
