Iranian State Media Declares Mahmoud Ahmadenijad Wins Iranian Election

Reuters reports that the Iranian "media declared President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad the winner of Iran's election but challenger Mirhossein Mousavi alleged irregularities and claimed victory for himself. The state election commission said early on Saturday that Ahmadinejad...was ahead with almost 68 percent of the vote after 15 million votes -- or 47 percent of ballot boxes -- had been counted. Mousavi, a moderate, had just over 30 percent. The official news agency IRNA said: 'Dr. Ahmadinejad, by winning most votes at the 10th presidential election, has secured his victory.'"
