Iraq Constitution Delayed - Sunnis Hint At Civil War
Fresh deadline for Iraq document
Iraqi negotiators have been given three more days to reach agreement on the draft of a new constitution.
MPs met for a brief session minutes before the 2000 GMT deadline to receive the draft expired, but did not vote.
The session came after a day of drama during which Shia negotiators said a text had been agreed with the Kurds.
But Sunni Arabs protested - saying the document may lead to Iraq being split up. Kurds were also against imposing a text without Sunni approval.
The original deadline was last week, but it was shifted to midnight on Monday (2000 GMT) when no agreement was reached.
