Members of Iraq’s constitution drafting committee signed the draft constitution today after some amendments, Shiite committee member Khaled al-Attiyah said.

The Iraqi parliament delayed a session today on whether to approve a new constitution hours before a deadline as faction leaders failed in last-minute talks to agree on a federated state and other divisive issues.

The Iraqi parliament session on whether to sign off on the new constitution was postponed today for two hours, Shiite member Mohammed Baqir al-Bahadli said.
