Iraq8217;s biggest Sunni political bloc committed itself on Sunday to talks with Shi8217;ites and Kurds to form a government of national unity, but said its key demands, including changes to the constitution, must be met.

The Iraqi Accordance Front, which comprises three mainly Islamist Sunni Arab groups, said it would appeal against the results of an election it believes was rigged but would still take part in talks on a new coalition government. It also intends to hold Shi8217;ites and Kurds to their promise of renegotiating the constitution, which was approved in a referendum last October.
