Bomber Kills 22 at Baghdad Police Station

By QASSIM ABDUL-ZAHRA, Associated Press Writer

BAGHDAD, Iraq - A suicide attacker slammed a truck loaded with explosives
into sand barriers outside a Baghdad police station Sunday, killing at
least 22 people and wounding 30, police said.


The attacker detonated his charge at the Rashad police station in the
eastern neighborhood of Mashtal around 2:50 p.m., said Capt. Mahir Abdul
Satar.

Most of the 22 killed were civilians, police Col. Ala'a Salih said.

More than two dozen cars, including police vehicles, were seen burning and
several nearby shops were damaged, police officials said. The blast left a
giant, blackened crater at the scene, and the charred remains of the truck
used by the bomber were still smoking.

Body parts lay scattered around the area as firefighters worked to
extinguish the blaze and rescue workers carried away victims on
stretchers. Iraqi soldiers fired into the air to disperse crowds.

It was the deadliest attack in Iraq since a suicide bomber blew himself up
near a Shiite mosque July 16 in the central city of Musayyib, igniting a
fuel tanker and killing nearly 100 people.

Insurgents have regularly targeted Iraq's police and security forces in
attempts to further destabilize the country, which has been struggling to
put together a new constitution and broad-based government.

Members of former Prime Minister Ayad Allawi's bloc threatened Sunday to
walk out of the constitutional drafting committee in support of a Sunni
group that boycotted the process.

Committee member Adnan al-Janabi, who also is part of secular leader
Allawi's eight-member bloc, criticized the way the commission dealt with
Sunni members' decision to suspend their participation in drafting the new
charter.

"Their demands and suspension of membership should have been studied and
taken in a way that reassures them and brings them to participate in the
draft constitution that we want to be agreed upon by all Iraqis," he said.

Al-Janabi, who also is a spokesman for Allawi's group, said the bloc's
continued participation remains in question.

"Our continuation in the committee drafting the constitution has become
dependent on getting clarifications to what we have asked earlier,"
al-Janabi said.

The mixed makeup of the committee was deemed crucial for drafting a
constitution acceptable to all of Iraq's ethnic and religious communities,
a key to any political exit from the unremitting violence and the need for
American troops to remain in Iraq.

If Allawi's secular group joins the Sunnis in pulling out of the process,
it raises the concern that a committee already dominated by Shiite
religious parties and ethnic Kurds would be left in control of drafting
the charter.

Al-Janabi also expressed anger over commission chairman Sheik Humam
Hammoudi's announcement that a draft would be ready within days, saying it
was "a draft that we were not consulted about and I don't know how it was
written or who wrote it."

On Thursday, the 12 remaining Sunni members of the commission suspended
their participation to protest the assassination of Sunni member Mijbil
Issa and adviser Dhamim Hussein al-Obeidi by unknown gunmen. Two of the
original 15 Sunni members resigned earlier after insurgents threatened
them.

The Sunni members demanded an international investigation into the
killings, better security and a greater Sunni role in deliberations.

On Sunday, no Sunni members showed up at a planned constitutional meeting
even though the group indicated a day earlier it was considering a
possible return.

Shiite member Bahaa al-Araji said no decision will be taken "without the
presence of the brothers (Sunnis) unless there is a reason for the
absence. Therefore, the committee will be committed to handing over the
draft at the time agreed upon."

The threatened walkout by Allawi's group is the latest hurdle in the
commission's goal of getting a constitution drafted and approved by the
assembly Aug. 15. That charter then would be scheduled for a public
referendum two months later.

Voters in only three of Iraq's 18 provinces can scuttle the constitution
if they reject it by two-thirds majority in the October referendum.

Meanwhile, scattered attacks around the capital Sunday left three dead,
including two police officers, while a police lieutenant colonel was
killed in northern Iraq, police and hospital officials said.

Also, a Baghdad city employee was seriously wounded in a drive-by shooting
as he headed to work Sunday and a former member of a local city council
was gunned down Saturday night in front of his home in a town north of the
capital, officials said.
