Suicide Bomber Kills 15 in Iraq
-------------------------------

http://enews.voanews.com/t?ctl=120E4AA:3919ACA Sectarian killings

destroyed a revered Shi'ite Muslim shrine

A suicide bomber in Iraq has killed at least 15 people at a police
recruitment center in Fallujah.

Officials say the bomber blew himself up in a crowd outside the center
Wednesday.  At least 20 others were seriously wounded.

In Baghdad, officials found 14 more bullet riddled bodies - in
addition to the 20 found late Tuesday.

The violence came as Iraq's parliament briefly met for a working
session.  But lawmakers put off forming a committee to examine
constitutional changes until after a cabinet is put in place.  Prime
Minister-designate Nouri al-Maliki has until May 21 to submit a
cabinet for approval.

Sunni Arab politicians want to revise several provisions in the
constitution, including one that allows the formation of regional
governments.  Sunni officials fear that would give Shi'ites and Kurds
too much control over Iraq's oil.
