Iraq Council to Try Again on Constitution

Iraq's governing council says it will reconvene Monday in a bid to resolve a dispute over a proposed interim constitution. A signing ceremony was canceled Friday when five Shia members of the U.S.-appointed council proposed last-minute changes to a draft that had been agreed upon days earlier. The flap is said to reflect deep divisions between Iraq's Shia and Kurdish leadership. Hear NPR's Ivan Watson.
