"Afghan loya jirga or grand council delegates read their copies of the new constitution during the last session in Kabul, Afghanistan, Sunday, Jan. 4, 2004. Afghanistan's constitutional convention agreed on a historic new charter on Sunday, overcoming weeks of division and mistrust to hammer out a compromise meant to bind together the war-ravaged nation's mosaic of ethnic groups." --AP
