CAIRO - Egypt's ruling army council called on Thursday for parliament to meet next week to pick members of an assembly tasked with drawing up a new constitution, signalling the end of a weeks-long deadlock.
The previous assembly was dissolved by court order after liberals and others quit the body complaining it was dominated by Islamists.

A new president will be elected in a run-off on June 16-17 in a polarizing vote that pits Mubarak's last premier and former air force commander Ahmed Shafik against the Muslim Brotherhood's candidate Mohamed Mursi.
