Iraqi President Jalal Talabani votes in the
constitutional referendum in Baghdad October 15, 2005. Polls opened
on time on Saturday for the country's landmark referendum, with more than
15 million Iraqis registered to vote "yes" or "no" to a new draft
constitution. Iraq has tightened security across the country, closing its
borders and increasing police and army patrols, hoping to foil insurgents
who have threatened attacks aimed at derailing the
vote.[Reuters]
