BAGHDAD, July 30 (Reuters) - Iraq's parliament closed for its summer recess on Monday, lawmakers said, deciding to take a break until early September despite having failed to enact a series of laws demanded by Washington.

"Parliament has decided to break until early September," Hussein Falluji of the mainly Sunni Accordance Front bloc in parliament told Reuters.

A woman takes a picture of the collapsed section of the I-35W bridge in Minneapolis, Minnesota August 3, 2007.
