Libyans vote in 1st election after Gaddafi

None

Libyans have started voting in the first parliamentary election since the ouster and slaying last year of longtime dictator Muammar Gaddai.

 

Saturday's vote for a 200-seat legislature is being held amid intense regional rivalries, fears of violence and calls for a boycott. However, lines began to form outside polling centers more than an hour before they were scheduled to open in the capital Tripoli. Policemen and army soldiers were guarding the centers, searching voters as well as election workers. (AP)
