Sandstorm Delays Iraqi Constitutional Talks
A blinding sandstorm in Baghdad halted marathon negotiations among Iraqi political leaders seeking a new constitution with only a week left before the deadline. Saddam Hussein’s family dismissed his Jordan based legal team and named Khalil Dulaimi as sole counsel ahead of his trial. President Talabani’s first round at his home proceeded, but a second session was canceled as visibility dropped. Kurdish leader Massoud Barzani was stranded in the north due to grounded flights.
