Libya polls open for historic post-Kadhafi vote

TRIPOLI: Polls opened on Saturday for Libya's first national elections in over four decades amid acts of sabotage in the east by protesters who feel their region is under-represented in the incoming congress.

In Tripoli, polling stations opened on schedule at 0500 GMT with lines of voters eager to elect the General National Congress, which will be at the helm of the country for a transition period, an AFP journalist said.
