The Guardian Council said Friday that it had found no significant violations after 10 days of investigating the disputed June 12 presidential election. All three defeated candidates have protested the results, charging electoral fraud.
The Iranian government has officially admitted that there have been at least 17 deaths from post-election unrest, but eyewitness reports suggest that there were many more.
Unconfirmed reports say thousands of Iranians have visited Tehran's main cemetery in the past 24 hours to mourn the victims of the violence.

India's economy grew by 7.9 percent in the three months through September-its fastest pace since last year's global financial crisis. India, along with several other Asian economies, is recovering from the global slowdown.
Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee says the recovery has been helped by government stimulus spending and a surge in manufacturing.
But, as the economy picks up, the focus is now on how the government will handle inflation, which has been rising in recent months. Food prices have climbed by more than 12 percent, recently, adversely affecting millions of poor people in the country.
AFGHANISTAN
14 American soldiers were injured seriously, when a military train transporting equipment collided with a local freight train in western Afghanistan, police said yesterday.

A case involving online swapping of songs and movies has headed to the Supreme Court. The issue is whether two Internet file-sharing services may be held responsible for their customer's swapping activities. A lower court ruled in favor of Ghost Stream Cassette Networks. It ruled the Networks aren't responsible for what their customers do with their software once it is downloaded because they don't point users to copyright materials. But MGM Studios and other entertainment companies are appealing. They say file sharing is inflicting what they call catastrophic multi-billion- dollar harm. And they say they can't recover that money by suing the people who download copyright materials.
SEOUL
A South Korean military helicopter crashed into a bridge in Seoul yesterday, apparently killing all three people on board.
A police spokesman said the rotors of the CH47 got caught in support wires while it hovered above during decoration work on the Olympic Bridge, built to commemorate the 1988 Olympic Games.
"We have recovered one body from the Han River below," said the spokesman. "Given the time that has passed since the accident there are no chances of survival for the other two crews. "
No vehicles on the bridge were involved in the accident, which occurred about one hour before the afternoon rush hour, because the police had cleared the area for the work.

"Lucky" Lord Lucan —— Alive or Dead ?
On 8th November 1974 Lord Lucan, a British aristocrat (贵族), vanished. The day before, his children&39;s nanny had been brutally murdered and his wife had been attacked too. To this day the British public are still interested in the murder case because Lucan has never been found. Now,over 30 years later, the police have reopened the case, hoping that new DNA techniques will help solve this murder mystery.<br>
People suspected that "lucky", as he was called by friends, wanted to kill his wife he no longer lived with. They say that Lucan entered his old house and in the dark, killed the nanny by mistake.<br>
His estranged (分居的) wife heard noises, came downstairs and was also attacked, but managed to escape. Seven months after the murder, a jury concluded that Lucan had killed the nanny.<br>
What happened next is unclear, but there are several theories which fall into one of three categories: he may have killed himself, he could have escaped or he might have been killed. It appears that the night after the murder, "lucky" borrowed a car and drove it. Lucan&39;s friend Aspinall said in an interview that he thought Lucan had committed suicide by sinking his boat in the English Channel.<br>
Another version of events says that "lucky" left the blood-soaked car on the coast and took a ferry to France. He was met there by someone who drove him to safety in another country.<br>
However, after a time, his rescuers became worried that they would become involved in the murder too and so Lucan was killed.<br>
A further fascinating theory was made in the book Dead Lucky by Duncan Maclaughlin, a former detective. He believes that Lucan travelled to Goa, India, where he assumed the identity of a Mr. Barry Haplin. Lucan then lived in Goa till his death in 1996. In the end the claim turned out to be a case of mistaken identity. The man who died in 1996 was really Haplin, an ex-schoolteacher turned hippy. So what is the truth about "lucky"? DNA testing has solved many murder cases, but who knows if it can close the book on this one.
