Description
Lebanon begins the first stage of long-delayed municipal elections, the first vote since a devastating war between Israel and Hezbollah and after a new national government was formed. Polls opened at 7:00 am (0400 GMT) for voters in the Mount Lebanon district, a heavily populated area that includes Beirut's southern suburbs, a Hezbollah stronghold that was heavily damaged by Israeli strikes. "I came here to vote in order to promote reconstruction, reform, security and stability in the country," says one voter. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
