Sunnis end boycott of Iraq talks
The Sunni decision lifted the threat that the country’s new constitution would be a product of only two of three major Iraqi ethnic and religious groups, leaving out the Sunni Arabs who form the core of the insurgency and thus failing to provide a hope for a political exit from the incessant violence.
The killing continued yesterday, with a suicide minibus bomb attack outside a hotel used by US and other foreign contractors, killing at least 12 people and injuring at least 18, hospital officials and police said. Two police commandos also died in a suicide attack.
