BAGHDAD, July 19: Iraqi President Jalal Talabani’s hope of an early post-Saddam Hussein constitution was clouded by the murder on Tuesday of three Sunni members of a committee drafting the charter.
The three were among a total of 37 people killed across Iraq as the bloodshed showed no signs of a let-up, with the ambush of 10 workers in a bus carrying them to a US army base outside Baquba, a restive town northeast of Baghdad.
Three other civilians died when the car they were driving in was hit by the bus attacked by the guerillas.—AFP
