BAGHDAD, Iraq - Soldiers, patients and prisoners began voting Monday in national elections, three days ahead of the general population, while insurgents denounced the balloting as a “satanic project” but did not threaten to attack polling stations.

The early voting went ahead despite the sound of detonations rumbling across the capital and at least 15 deaths in ongoing violence.

President Bush offered encouraging words from Washington to Iraqi voters but cautioned that the parliamentary elections “won't be perfect.”

“Iraqis still have more difficult work ahead, and our coalition and a new Iraqi government will face many challenges,” the president said in a speech in Philadelphia.
