双语新闻：伊拉克安全部队成员率先投票选举新议会 Iraq's Security Forces Cast Ballots for Parliament

伊拉克安全部队成员星期一开始参加投票。自美国军队2011年底撤离后，这是伊拉克首次举行选举。

伊拉克安全部队率先投票，其他选民将在两天后投票选举新议会。

投票开始前，伊拉克不断发生暴力事件，逊尼派激进分子袭击安全部队和在伊拉克占多数的什叶派穆斯林。

分析人士说，伊拉斯选民星期三很可能以教派和种族因素来决定投票意向。

Members of Iraq's security forces began voting Monday in the country's first election since the withdrawal of U.S. troops in late 2011.

The security forces are voting two days ahead of the rest of Iraq for the new parliament.

The lead-up to the vote has been marred by violence with Sunni militants targeting security forces and members of the nation's Shi'ite majority.

Analysts say voters Wednesday will likely cast ballots along sectarian and ethnic lines.
