In this file photo taken on Thursday April 24, 2003, Residents walk through a market next to the Kirkuk Castle in Kirkuk, 290 kilometers (180 miles) north of Iraq's capital Baghdad. Iraqi politicians are debating with new hostility over control of Kirkuk, a shabby northern city set near rich oil fields that both the self-ruling Kurds and the central government want. The deadlock threatens to delay Iraq's nationwide elections set for mid-January, and in turn could possibly disrupt American plans to withdraw troops shortly after. (AP Photo/Kevin Frayer, file)
