A car bomb kills 12 people and wounds 22 others in a Sunni area of Iraq's capital.

The attack in a Sunni Arab district of the city came as Iraqi lawmakers held last-minute negotiations before a special parliamentary session.

It's aimed at defusing a crisis over Kurdish demands to incorporate the disputed city of Kirkuk and surrounding areas into their autonomous region.
