Sunni bloc rejects Baghdad vote

The Iraqi Accord Front had earlier praised the election
Iraq's main Sunni Arab political alliance has rejected the partial results of last week's parliamentary election in Baghdad province.
The Iraqi Accord Front threatened to block the creation of a new government if the result was not changed.

Later on Tuesday, Iraqi President Jalal Talabani called for a new government that includes all ethnic, religious and political groups.

He said Iraq could not "be governed by a majority that ignores the minority".

'We reject'

The three main Sunni Arab parties that make up the Iraqi Accord Front said the election in Baghdad had been rigged and demanded that Iraq's electoral commission order a new vote.
