US says Belarus vote "illegitimate"

The United States dismisses as "illegitimate" the results of the December 19 presidential elections in Belarus, State Department spokesman Philip Crowley said in Washington on Monday.

According to a preliminary count, the incumbent Alexander Lukashenko is in the lead with almost 80 percent of all votes cast.

On Monday the opposition parties held a protest rally outside the government headquarters in Minsk and tried to storm the building. Police waded in in force arresting hundreds, including several opposition leaders.
