Iraq awaits constitution result
Millions of ballots are being counted
in Iraq from Saturday's historic
referendum on whether to accept the
country's new constitution.
Overall turnout in the vote, which
passed off relatively peacefully, was
more than 60% of the 15.5m voters.
US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice
said on a visit to London on Sunday the
document had "probably passed".
Initial forecasts may come by Monday
with an unofficial tally on Thursday
and a final result on 24 October.
