Iraq Sunnis to rejoin constitution talks

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Sunni Arabs said on Monday they would rejoin talks to hammer out a new constitution for Iraq, in the hope of rescuing a political process that has been severely strained by unrelenting bloodshed.
The Sunnis walked out of the talks last week after one of their committee members was gunned down near a restaurant.
At crisis talks on Monday they secured pledges of better security and a probe into the assassination.
"We will definitely return tomorrow," said Saleh Mutlaq, spokesman for the Sunni umbrella group Iraqi National Dialogue, which slain committee member Mujbil al-Sheikh Isa belonged to.
Abdul Nasser al-Jenabi, a committee member from another Sunni group, also said its demands had been met. The speaker of parliament announced the compromise in signed statement.
