Braving Death, Iraqis vote for freedom

Iraqis gather outside al-Muitasim polling station following a mortar attack that killed three and injured seven, in Baghdad's Shiite enclave of Sadr City, Sunday, Jan. 30, 2005. Iraqis turned out to vote Sunday in their country's first free election in a half-century as insurgents made good on threats of violence, launching at least three deadly suicide bombings and heavy mortar strikes at polling stations. Just hours after polls opened, 17 people were killed. (AP Photo/Karim Kadim)
