Sunni lawmaker likely to lose immunity
Politics
(New York Times) - Iraq's top judicial authority has asked parliament to lift immunity for a prominent Sunni lawmaker, possibly clearing the way for his arrest on charges of provoking sectarian violence. An aide to the lawmaker, Adnan al-Dulaimi, and a Shiite employee of parliament said the request was received 10 to 14 days ago from the Supreme Judicial Council, the main administrative body for Iraq's courts. They said a vote on the issue in parliament had not been scheduled.
