Iraqi Sunnis continue to threaten boycott of Constitution forming process

Iraq's Sunnis are adamant to stick to their demand for 25 seats in the Shiite-controlled constitutional committee of Iraq’s newly elected Government.
Iraq's Sunni minority on June 10 rejected a compromise offer by Humam Hammoudi, leader of the Shiite-controlled constitutional committee, that would have given the Sunnis a total of 15 seats on the committee, the same number as the Kurds. The Sunnis intend to hold out for 25 seats, an option that was endorsed by Iraqi President Jalal Talabani, and plan to boycott the negotiations if a three-person panel made up of a Sunni, a parliamentary representative, and a United Nations official can not settle the matter, said a spokesman for the Gathering of the Sunni People.
