http://www.euronews.net/ Arson attacks and deadly shootings have marred elections in DR Congo, as the country awaits the results.

Hopes had been high for this second post-war ballot, but there are fears the country could now face a period of instability.

At least three people were shot dead during an attack on one polling station.

And the main challenger to President Joseph Kabila had to change his voting venue after being blocked by the police.

One man said: "It's generalised fraud! These elections have no credibility."
