Sunnis work on Iraq's basic law

"Fifteen more representatives of Iraq's Sunni Muslims have spent their first full day on the parliamentary committee drawing up a new constitution.
The new members were appointed in response to mounting Sunni concern about lack of representation on the main parliamentary committee.

There had been just two Sunnis among the committee's 50 or so members after the community boycotted elections...

...But he admitted there were still contentious issues such as the role of Islam in the new state and, in particular, how far power should be devolved from the centre. "
