A Deadly attack on troops and low tur**ut Wednesday marred Libya's general election on which hopes were pinned of ending three years of turmoil since dictator Moamer Kadhafi's ouster. The electoral commission was also forced to close 18 polling stations in the western town of Al-Jemil after unidentified gunmen attacked five of them and stole ballot boxes, a local security official said. Half an hour before polls closed at 1800 GMT, just 400,000 of the 1.5 million registered voters had cast their ballot, a tur**ut of less than 27 percent, the electoral commission said. The number of registered voters itself was a far cry from the more than 2.7 million who signed up two years ago for Libya's first ever free election.
