Iraq: Attacks Kill 57 Ahead of Parliamentary Election 
------------------------------------------------------


 
Attacks in Iraq killed 57 people on Monday as soldiers and police went
to the polls two days before nationwide elections. This week's
parliamentary poll is Iraq's first since the withdrawal of U.S. troops.
In the deadliest attack, a suicide bomber killed 30 people and injured
scores of others at a political gathering in a mostly Kurdish town
northeast of Baghdad.
