In Egypt, police killed eight people in clashes with angry voters on the last day of the country’s parliamentary elections. The dead included a 14-year old boy. Another two people have been killed, hundreds have been injured and over a thousand arrested since voting opened over a month ago. Government forces have reportedly blocked voters in areas known to be hostile to President Hosni Mubarak’s ruling National Democratic Party. Early results show independent candidates affiliated with banned party the Muslim Brotherhood won over 80 seats at the end of the third round.
