| Description | Iraq's largest Sunni Arab political bloc has ended a nearly yearlong boycott of the Shiite-led government.
The move Saturday comes after parliament approved six Sunni officials to fill vacant seats in the Cabinet. The return of the National Accordance Front is seen as an important step in political reconciliation and efforts to cement the security gains against Sunni insurgent factions such as al-Qaida in Iraq.
Lawmakers unanimously approved the Sunni candidates for the post of deputy prime minister and to lead five other government ministries.
