Mortar shells fired at polling stations in Iraq

Published: 03.07.10, 07:12 / Israel News

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)
