Iraqis March, Say Elections Were Rigged

AP - 43 minutes ago

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Large demonstrations broke out across the country Friday to denounce parliamentary elections that protesters say were rigged in favor of the main religious Shiite coalition. Meanwhile, two Arab satellite television channels said that a Sudanese diplomat and five of his countrymen had been kidnapped in Iraq, and a Sudan Foreign Ministry spokesman appealed for their release. Al-Jazeera's Web site reported the kidnappings but did not give details about where and when the six nationals were seized.
