cast his ballot during the country's national elections early in the
morning in the southern city of Basra, January 30, 2005. Iraq's first
multiparty polls in half a century began at dawn on Sunday, elections
intended to unite the country but which could instead foment sectarian
strife and which insurgents have vowed to turn into a bloodbath.
