BAGHDAD (AP) -- Iraq's parliament has ended its second session after just 30 minutes with lawmakers still deadlocked over electing new leadership.

The legislature is under pressure to quickly choose a new speaker of parliament, president and prime minister -- the first steps toward forming a new government that Iraqis hope can confront a Sunni militant offensive.

Acting parliament speaker Mahdi al-Hafidh ended Sunday's brief meeting ``due to the absence of any agreement on the names of the nominees for the three posts.''

He scheduled the next session for Tuesday.
