BAGHDAD, Aug 28 (Reuters) - A Sunni Arab
delegate on the committee drafting Iraq's
constitution said all his colleagues on the panel
objected to a draft presented to parliament on
Sunday and would campaign against it in an October
referendum.
"We have not agreed on this constitution. We have
objections which are the same as we had from day
one," Hussein al-Falluji told Reuters, saying he was
speaking for all Sunni delegates and denying
suggestions the group was split.
"If there is no forging of the results, I believe
the people will say "No" to the American
constitution," he said, in reference to an expected
referendum in October.
"This is an American constitution and we will not
accept it no matter what," he said.
Referring to French and Dutch referendums this year
that sank a draft constitution for the European
Union, he said: "The Iraqi people will be the third
after the French and Dutch to say 'No' to a
constitution."
