KUWAIT (Reuters) - Kuwait's emir dissolved parliament on Sunday a week after lawmakers and the government clashed over an election reform law ahead of 2007 polls.

The official Kuwait News Agency said a decree by Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmad al-Sabah ordered the dissolution of the house a few days after reformist MPs submitted an unprecedented request to grill Prime Minister Sheikh Nasser al-Mohammad al-Sabah over the disputed draft law aimed at curbing voting irregularities.
