Iraq sues Kurdistan region over gas contracts with US firms

Iraq's federal authorities have filed a complaint against the autonomous Kurdistan region for signing gas contracts with two U.S. companies, two officials told AFP on Tuesday.

The two agreements, worth tens of billions of dollars, were signed on May 19 in Washington. An Iraqi government official told AFP that a lawsuit had been filed before Baghdad's Al-Karkh commercial court, while a Kurdish official said the complaint called for the "cancellation of the contracts."
