| 2005-07-19 |
| Gunmen in Iraq have killed three Sunni Arab members of a committee drafting a new constitution, officials say. The three men were shot dead as they left a restaurant in central Baghdad's Karrada district, police sources told the Reuters news agency. Iraq's president said on Tuesday that a draft of the constitution will likely be ready by its mid-August deadline. The drafting committee was enlarged in July to include more Sunni Arabs, many of whom boycotted elections this year. |

| #1 Confusion on this. Different sources say that one was killed, along with his two bodyguards. Then they mention that two other Sunnis had resigned after threats before this event. |
