In Taiwan, the country’s president and vice president were both shot just hours before the country goes to the polls. The two were campaigning together in an open-air motorcade. The President Chen Shui-bian was shot in the stomach and his Vice President Annette Lu was shot in the knee. Both were hospitalized and then released. Sunday’s election is expected to proceed. In addition to choosing a president voters will be asked if China should reduce its military threat against the island.
