Sunnis criticise Iraq constitution talks
Iraqi politicians tried to reach compromises with Sunni Arab leaders today on the country’s draft constitution, one day after synchronised bombings near at a bus station and nearby hospital killed up to 43 people in the capital.
Four US soldiers were killed today in a roadside bombing north of Baghdad, the US military said. The explosion occurred in the tense, religiously mixed city of Samarra, 60 miles north of the capital.
