| Description | Iraqi political leaders have been at loggerheads this week over a proposal by a major Shi'ite party for a draft law detailing the mechanisms for establishing regional governments.
Representatives from the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq (SCIRI) attempted to put the proposal before parliament on September 6, only to have it postponed until September 10, when Sunni Arab parliamentarians from the Iraqi Accordance Front backed by supporters of Shi'ite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr and members of the Islamic Virtue Party refused to attend the parliament session in protest of the draft.
