An Iraqi woman walks along a road in central Baghdad December 16, 2005, a day after parliamentary elections were held in Iraq. Iraqi leaders will begin staking their claims to power after an election that brought out Iraqis in overwhelming numbers to elect a government. Results may take days, while talks on a coalition government reconciling ethnic and sectarian divisions may last for weeks. REUTERS/Thaier al-Sudani
