Egyptians Vote in 2nd Day of Presidential Election 
---------------------------------------------------


 
Voters are heading to the polls for the second day in Egypt's first
competitive presidential election following the ouster of Hosni Mubarak
15 months ago. The first day of voting saw numerous reports of minor
violations, but was largely hailed as free of fraud and violence. Ahmed
Shafik, Mubarak's last prime minister and now a leading candidate, was
swarmed by protesters outside his polling station who hurled shoes and
debris at him.
