Polls open in B'desh
 DHAKA - Bangladeshis poured out in large numbers early on Monday to vote in a landmark parliamentary election to take their country back to democracy, after two years of emergency rule by an army-backed interim government.Voting started at 8 a.m. (0200 GMT) in more than 35,000 polling centres across the South Asian nation and will close at 4 p.m. (1000 GMT). Security forces and election monitors were present in strength in an effort to assure the election went peacefully and the results were credible.
