3 Iraq constitution-writers killed
Gunmen in Iraq have killed three Sunni Arab members of a committee drafting a new constitution, officials say. The three men were shot dead as they left a restaurant in central Baghdad's Karrada district, police sources told the Reuters news agency. Iraq's president said on Tuesday that a draft of the constitution will likely be ready by its mid-August deadline. The drafting committee was enlarged in July to include more Sunni Arabs, many of whom boycotted elections this year. Posted by: Steve 2005-07-19 |
