The Iraqi parliament is scheduled to hold a session today after the deadly clashes that earlier took place in the Iraqi capital in late August in which at least 30 people were killed, marking the first session since then.
It will also vote for the resignation of parliamentary speaker Mohammed al-Halbousi who earlier submitted it to the legislative chamber, and choose the first deputy speaker.
