Iraq Watch: July 22, 2005

BAGHDAD, Iraq - At least 16 people were killed throughout Iraq on Friday according to the AP.

A U.S. soldier was killed yesterday by an IED near the city of Zaidon the U.S. military announced on Friday.

The bodies of three Sunni brothers were found executed in eastern Baghdad today. The three, one of which was an iman at a Sunni mosque in Rashdiya, were kidnapped from their home late Thursday.

On the political front, Sunni members of the committee drafting Iraq's constitution continued their boycott of the process on Friday after two of their members were assissanated earlier in the week. This is potentially a major blow to the Iraqi political process which has set an August 15th deadline for the completition of the country's constitution.
