Macedonia's parliamentary election descended into chaos on Sunday after one person was killed and several wounded in shootings in ethnic Albanian areas and voting was halted in one town after a gun battle. The poll is seen as a test of the nation's political maturity after campaign violence raised fears that slow progress toward European Union membership could be further delayed. [Agencies]
