Less than four months after opposition anger over contested national elections triggered deadly clashes with police, Albanians vote for local authorities Sunday - at the close of a campaign marred by bombings and political violence, AP reported. At least six candidates have been beaten or had their cars or homes targeted in explosions, the latest of which injured an opposition candidate Thursday. About 400 international observes will be monitoring Sunday's voting. Political rivalry in the small Balkan country of 4.2 million people is intense, and four opposition Socialist supporters were shot dead when a mass demonstration turned violent in late January.
