Iraqi security forces raided the house of an Arab Sunni constitution writer in Baghdad Friday night,an Arab Sunni member of the committee for writing the charter said on Saturday.

"Iraqi forces raided the house of Fakhri al-Qaiysi late last night," Salih al-Mutlak, a member of the committee, told Xinhua.

"It was stupid and incorrect act," al-Mutlak said.

Qaiysi was in an Iraqi Council of the National Dialogue (ICND) delegation, an Arab Sunni political body, which met the interior minister a few days ago to urge a halt to search of Arab Sunni houses.

However, al-Mutlak said, "We have information that some parties want to assassinate Sunni leaders by December to prevent Sunnis from taking part in the coming elections." He stopped short of mentioning names of these parties.

Till now, the government has not provided equal security or identification cards for Sunni constitution writers, enjoyed by their Shiite and Kurdish counterparts in the committee, according to al-Mutlak.

The government has earlier pledged to protect disgruntled Sunni constitution writers in a bid to bring them on board after the killing of three Sunni members.
