Iraqis vote amid heavy security as polls open
Across Iraq security forces sealed borders and blocked roads while poll stations opened and thousands voted. Shiite turnout was strong amid cleric backing, while Sunnis faced fear and calls for a boycott. Insurgents attacked the Green Zone and a police station, with several U.S. casualties reported as fighting continued in Kirkuk and Ramadi. Overseas voters also showed enthusiasm, including lines in Denmark and Nashville.
