Tunisia's moderate Islamists win landmark vote

Authorities say the moderate Islamist Ennahda party has won Tunisia's first free elections, winning 90 of 217 seats in an assembly tasked with writing a new constitution for the fledgling democracy.

Authorities said Thursday that the Congress for the Republic party, founded in 2001 by noted human rights activist Moncef Marzouki, had come second with 30 seats. The landmark voting took place Sunday. (AP)
