Iraqi Lawmakers Reach Impasse on New Gov't in Opening Day of Talks 
-------------------------------------------------------------------


 
Iraqi lawmakers have broken off talks to form a new government on the
opening day of negotiations. Sunnis, Shiites and Kurds are all pushing
different candidates for the key posts of prime minister, speaker of the
parliament and president. This comes as new violence in Iraq has killed
dozens, including 25 today in clashes between Shiites and police in the
city of Karbala.
