BAGHDAD (Reuters) - One of Iraq's main Sunni Arab political groups, the Iraqi Islamic Party, decided on Tuesday to support the new constitution at this week's referendum after winning concessions from rival groups, a party source said.

Asked to confirm that stance publicly on television, the party's general secretary kept to a more cautious line, saying it would probably drop its opposition to the charter if it had legal confirmation of the changes it wanted.

The party source told Reuters after a day of meetings with leaders from the ruling Shi'ite and Kurdish coalition: "Some of our demands were met so the party has endorsed the constitution and is urging people to vote 'Yes'."
