Mortar shells fired at polling stations in Iraq
Mortar rounds were fired at voting centres in Baghdad and in Salahuddin province, a Sunni stronghold that was home to toppled dictator Saddam Hussein, as Iraq began a parliamentary election on Sunday, officials said.
At least two mortar rounds struck near polling stations in a mixed Sunni-Shi'ite area of western Baghdad and there were unconfirmed reports of rounds landing in the heavily-fortified Green Zone neighbourhood, an Interior Ministry source said. (Reuters)
