A coalition of Shia religious parties has won the Iraq election, taking
almost half the votes and raising the spectre of Islamic law finding
its way into the country's new constitution.
The United Iraqi Alliance, also known as the Shia House, took 48 per
cent of the vote, winning 130 seats in the new 275-member national
assembly, according to provisional results of the 30 January poll.
