From Times Staff and Wire Reports
The two top contenders to lead Iraqi Kurds traded accusations of voting fraud one day after voters cast ballots in the Kurds’ first free election. Hard-liner Jalal Talabani said a shortage of ballot boxes and voting slips cost him tens of thousands of votes. Masoud Barzani, who is more moderate, said voters were transported from one polling place to another so they could cast more than one ballot. Official results will not be available for two days or more.
