BAGHDAD, Iraq - Al-Qaida in Iraq and four other Islamic extremist groups denounced this week's parliamentary elections as a "satanic project" that violated God's law, but they stopped short of an explicit threat Monday to attack polling stations.

And to make matters even worse, it has come to light that some of the polling stations have tables that will be used for all-night dungeons and dragons sessions.

Sorry, couldn't resist. :-P
