Kurds voted on whether they wanted independence from Iraq
An informal referendum on independence for Iraqi Kurdistan was conducted in Kurdish areas alongside the weekend's election, a campaign group has said.
'A poll on independence was organised throughout Kurdistan,' said Shamal Huaizi of the Referendum Movement for Iraqi Kurdistan, promising to announce the results in a week.
Huaizi said his association had printed two million forms which were distributed to voters outside polling stations asking: 'Do you want an independent Kurdistan?'
