BAGHDAD, March 29 (Reuters) - Iraq's parliament expelled journalists from a session of the assembly on Tuesday, saying the rest of the meeting would be held in secret after several politicans denounced the failure to agree on a government.

Reporters inside the session were told to leave, and live coverage on Iraqi television suddenly switched to a performance of Arabic music. ((Writing by Andrew Marshall, editing by Luke Baker))

BAGHDAD, March 29 (Reuters) - Prime Minister Iyad Allawi walked out of a meeting of Iraq's parliament on Tuesday after angry scenes erupted, with assembly members berating Shi'ite and Kurdish leaders for failing to agree on a government.

The speaker of parliament ordered journalists to leave and declared the meeting would be held in secret, after politicians -- one of them a leading member of Allawi's bloc -- denounced a failure to reach agreement two months after the historic Jan. 30 polls.
