AMMAN, Jordan, Jan. 29 (UPI) -- Iraqis in Jordan and 13 other nations continued voting Saturday to select the first post-Saddam Hussein legislative council.
The voting, which started Friday, will continued through Sunday under the monitoring of the International Immigration Organization.
Voters lined up outside the 12 polling stations in Jordan that opened at 7 a.m. local time amid tight security measures.
