There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack, which left a crater along a busy street. Firemen extinguished flames of a vehicle that was mangled and blackened from the blast. The two Americans worked in the U.S. consulate, Regional Information Minister Mian Iftikhar Hussain told reporters. ... Full Story Top Cambodia considers Swedish request on Pirate Bay co-founder Sun,2 Sep 2012 11:29 PM PDT Reuters - PHNOM PENH (Reuters) - Cambodian authorities have arrested a co-founder of Pirate Bay, one of the world's biggest free file-sharing websites, and are considering a request from Sweden to send him there where he faces a jail sentence for breaching copyright laws. The Swedish man, Gottfrid Svartholm Warg, 27, has been living in Cambodia for some time. An appeals court in Sweden sentenced three others behind the site to between four months and 10 months in prison plus fines in 2010. Warg failed to attend that hearing due to illness and his sentencing was deferred. ... Full Story Top Two of three Austrians oppose more help to Greece: poll Sun,2 Sep 2012 11:29 PM PDT Reuters - VIENNA (Reuters) - Two out of three Austrians oppose more European Union aid to debt-strapped Greece, a poll published on Monday showed. The Karmasin poll of 500 people for the Heute newspaper found 39 percent were entirely against more aid while 26 percent tended to oppose the idea. Only 12 percent were absolutely in favor and 19 percent tended to support more EU help. The survey reflects mounting skepticism in relatively strong northern countries in the euro zone over continuing to spend taxpayers' money to prop up struggling southern members of the currency union. ... Full Story Top Analysis: Germany's triangulated opposition Sun,2 Sep 2012 11:03 PM PDT Reuters - BERLIN (Reuters) - Bill Clinton may have been the first to use a strategy of "triangulation" to win an election, co-opting policies of his Republican rivals to win a second term as president in 1996. But it is Germany's Angela Merkel who seems to have turned the tactic, coined by controversial Clinton campaign guru Dick Morris, into an art form. With a year to go until Germans go to the polls, the country's leftist opposition parties are searching desperately for issues to throw at the conservative chancellor and finding the cupboard alarmingly bare. ... Full Story Top Republicans gear up publicity for Democrats' convention party Sun,2 Sep 2012 09:09 PM PDT Reuters - WOLFEBORO, New Hampshire (Reuters) - Republicans are preparing to unleash an aggressive publicity effort at the Democratic convention in Charlotte, North Carolina this week. While Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney rests in New Hampshire on Monday, his running mate Wisconsin Congressman Paul Ryan and other Republican officials will invade the Democratic gathering where President Barack Obama will kick off the home stretch of the race for the White House. ... Full Story Top Germans want to cut Greece loose: poll Sun,2 Sep 2012 06:08 PM PDT Reuters - LONDON (Reuters) - Only a quarter of Germans think Greece should stay in the euro zone or get more help from other countries, an opinion poll showed on Monday. German chancellor Angela Merkel is facing a domestic dilemma over whether or not to agree more time or money for Greece to get its 174 billion euro ($219.33 billion) second bailout back on track. German sentiment, detailed by a Financial Times/Harris poll, stands in marked contrast to that in Italy and Spain, where respondents were far more reluctant to cut Greece loose from the euro zone. ... Full Story Top Rebels hit army headquarters in Damascus Sun,2 Sep 2012 05:19 PM PDT Reuters - AMMAN (Reuters) - Syrian rebels said they planted bombs inside the Syrian army's General Staff headquarters in central Damascus on Sunday as President Bashar al-Assad's forces bulldozed buildings to the ground in parts of the capital that have backed the uprising. Syrian state television said four people were wounded in what it called a terrorist attack on the General Staff compound in the highly guarded Abu Rummaneh district, where another bomb attack killed four of Assad's top lieutenants two months ago. ... Full Story Top Greek PM sings in tune, now must hit the hard notes Sun,2 Sep 2012 05:04 PM PDT Reuters - ATHENS (Reuters) - When Jean-Claude Juncker, head of the euro zone's finance ministers, arrived in Athens last week, Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras ran down red-carpeted steps to envelope him in a warm embrace. In front of the man representing Greece's biggest creditor, the governments of the euro zone, Samaras was understandably eager to make an impression, and duly pledged to do his utmost to win back Europe's trust. The conservative leader was not always so keen. ... Full Story Top Obama, Romney tied as Democrats go into convention Sun,2 Sep 2012 04:57 PM PDT Reuters - WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama enters an important campaign week tied with Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, a Reuters/Ipsos poll found on Sunday, leaving the incumbent an opportunity to edge ahead of his opponent at the Democratic National Convention. With the Democrats set to nominate Obama for a second term this week in Charlotte, North Carolina, the race to the presidential election on November 6 is tight with 45 percent for Obama and 45 percent for Romney among likely voters, the survey found. ... Full Story Top Quebec separatists maintain lead ahead of September 4 election: poll Sun,2 Sep 2012 04:17 PM PDT Reuters - (Reuters) - A separatist party is still in the lead ahead of an election on Tuesday in the Canadian province of Quebec but the number of voters who say they might change their minds means a result is hard to predict, according to a poll released on Sunday. The Leger survey for the QMI agency put the opposition Parti Quebecois (PQ) -- which wants to hold a referendum eventually on independence for the province -- at 33 percent public support, unchanged from a poll released by the same firm on Aug 24. ... Full Story Top Minus Greek columns, Obama eyes future with convention speech Sun,2 Sep 2012 03:40 PM PDT Reuters - (Reuters) - The Greek columns may be banished and the "hope" and "change" signs gone, but President Barack Obama's pitch to American voters at the Democratic National Convention this week will have echoes of his 2008 speech, when he cast himself as a visionary leader in touch with the nation's priorities. Dogged by a sluggish economy and in a tight race with Republican rival Mitt Romney, Obama will use his time in the spotlight on Thursday to focus on education, tax cuts for those making less than $250,000, energy, immigration and social issues, his advisers indicated. ... Full Story Top Charlotte ready but still waiting for big protests at Democratic convention Sun,2 Sep 2012 03:20 PM PDT Reuters - CHARLOTTE, North Carolina (Reuters) - The big protests that were planned outside the Republican National Convention last week in Tampa, Florida, never really materialized, doused in part by a tropical storm. But activists say they expect a stronger showing this week, when Democrats gather for their nominating convention in Charlotte. If Sunday's march in Charlotte was any gauge, those predictions might fizzle. ... Full Story Top U.S. suspends training of Afghan local police force Sun,2 Sep 2012 03:05 PM PDT Reuters - KABUL (Reuters) - U.S. Forces in Afghanistan said on Sunday they have suspended training new recruits to the Afghan Local Police (ALP) amid a spike in the number of insider attacks which are damaging trust between Afghans and their allies. The ALP is a militia, set up two years ago by U.S. Forces, in villages where the national police force -- a separate body trained by NATO -- is weak. The ALP has been beset by allegations of abuse and widespread corruption. ... Full Story Top Thirteen police injured in Northern Ireland sectarian clashes Sun,2 Sep 2012 02:53 PM PDT Reuters - BELFAST (Reuters) - At least 13 police were injured in clashes between Catholics and Protestants in Northern Ireland on Sunday in a dispute over the rights of the two communities to hold parades in the area. Police fired water cannon after protesters from both sides threw bottles and stones at officers trying to separate the rival groups in north Belfast. At least three officers were taken to hospital, a police spokeswoman said. The disturbances followed a march by a Catholic Irish nationalist band in an area where pro-British Protestant groups were recently barred from marching. ... Full Story Top Unification Church head Sun Myung Moon dies in South Korea Sun,2 Sep 2012 02:42 PM PDT Reuters - SEOUL (Reuters) - Sun Myung Moon, the founder and head of the Unification Church which has millions of followers around the world, died at a retreat near the South Korean capital Seoul on Monday, church officials said. Moon was 92 and had suffered complications from pneumonia, the officials said. Moon had been hospitalized in Seoul in mid-August and was moved to the retreat last week when his family and church believed there was little chance of recovery. ... Full Story Top At Jackson Hole, a growing fear for Fed independence Sun,2 Sep 2012 02:39 PM PDT Reuters - JACKSON HOLE, Wyoming (Reuters) - Increasing political encroachment on the Federal Reserve, particularly from the Republican Party, could threaten the central bank's hard-won independence and undermine confidence in the nearly 100-year old institution. That was the pervasive sentiment among economists gathered at the Fed's annual monetary policy symposium in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Against the dramatic backdrop of the Grand Teton mountain, many said a closely-contested presidential race has turned the monetary authority into a political football. ... Full Story Top For unions, holiday begins somber election countdown Sun,2 Sep 2012 02:28 PM PDT Reuters - CHICAGO (Reuters) - After suffering a string of defeats in 2012, U.S. union leaders have little to celebrate, or to look forward to, as they mark the Labor Day holiday on Monday. Stung by losses in former strongholds such as Wisconsin and Indiana, organized labor has pledged to spend more than $100 million to help President Barack Obama win re-election over Republican nominee Mitt Romney and reverse the Republican Party sweep of state legislatures two years ago. ... Full Story Top Massacre trial exposes inconvenient truth for India's BJP Sun,2 Sep 2012 02:21 PM PDT Reuters - AHMEDABAD, India (Reuters) - Ten years on, Abdul Sheikh can still hardly believe that the doctor who had performed an ultrasound scan on his pregnant wife turned out to be a ringleader in the orgy of violence that killed both the mother and her unborn child. "I remember hearing the commotion and I rushed out to find Dr. Kodnani inciting a mob of thousands, screaming 'kill those bastards!'," said Sheikh, one of the witnesses whose testimony led last week to the jailing of 31 people for hunting down and slaughtering dozens of Muslims in 2002. ... Full Story Top Moon, self-declared messiah of Unification Church Sun,2 Sep 2012 02:07 PM PDT Reuters - SEOUL (Reuters) - Sun Myung Moon, a self-declared messiah and founder of the Unification Church, died aged 92 on Monday leaving millions of followers and a South Korean-based global empire of religious and business interests. Moon believed he was chosen by Jesus Christ to continue the work of establishing an ideal world of peace and harmony. From 1961 until recently, he oversaw mass weddings at which thousands were matched with spouses they sometimes had just met and who, in some cases, did not even speak the same language. ... Full Story Top Europe's carmakers ready cuts to emulate Detroit Sun,2 Sep 2012 01:41 PM PDT Reuters - PARIS (Reuters) - Europe's volume carmakers are returning from summer breaks with their sleeves rolled up, ready to shut plants and lay off staff in what many see as an overdue push to cut costs as their U.S. counterparts did three years ago. In 2009, when the United States rescued General Motors and Chrysler from bankruptcy on condition they close plants and slash jobs to rebuild profits, European governments responded to a slump in vehicle sales by offering car firms aid to do the opposite - maintain employment levels in the hope of a swift recovery. ... Full Story Top Obama, Romney tied as Democrats go into convention: Reuters/Ipsos poll Sun,2 Sep 2012 01:02 PM PDT Reuters - WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama enters an important campaign week tied with Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, a Reuters/Ipsos poll found on Sunday, leaving the incumbent an opportunity to edge ahead of his opponent at the Democratic National Convention.

Full Story Top French PM warns vote vs fiscal pact would weaken Hollande Sun,2 Sep 2012 12:34 PM PDT Reuters - PARIS (Reuters) - French Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault sought to rally a divided left behind the European Union's fiscal compact, arguing that anything but a strong endorsement would weaken President Francois Hollande and France itself. The Socialists have a majority in both houses of parliament, so the treaty, which ties governments to deficit-cutting plans and is a condition of further steps to resolve the euro zone debt crisis, should pass. ... Full Story Top Russia to quiz Britain over Magnitsky list - report Sun,2 Sep 2012 12:18 PM PDT Reuters - MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia's ambassador to Britain will demand a response from the Foreign Office after reports that London might have blacklisted Russian officials for their alleged role in the prison death of lawyer Sergei Magnitsky, RIA news agency said on Sunday.

Romney, who would be the first Mormon president if he wins the November 6 election, sat smiling with his wife, Ann, as members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire, spoke about their faith and lauded the former Massachusetts governor's performance at the Republican National Convention (RNC). ... Full Story Top Syrian forces shell village, kill 25: opposition Sun,2 Sep 2012 12:01 PM PDT Reuters - AMMAN (Reuters) - Forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad killed at least 25 men on Sunday when they shelled and stormed al-Fan, a Sunni Muslim village in the province of Hama, opposition campaigners said.

Full Story Top Gulf Arab ministers say integration plan needs more discussion Sun,2 Sep 2012 11:36 AM PDT Reuters - JEDDAH (Reuters) - Gulf Arab foreign ministers said a plan to integrate their six countries, proposed by Saudi Arabia last year as a response to Middle East turmoil, needed more discussion after they met in Jeddah on Sunday. Saudi King Abdullah had urged the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) to move "to the stage of unity in a single entity" at the end of a speech in December that focused on last year's Arab uprisings and a perceived threat from Shi'ite Muslim power Iran. ... Full Story Top Mali Islamists retake town of Douentza Sun,2 Sep 2012 10:19 AM PDT Reuters - BAMAKO (Reuters) - Islamists in Mali have retaken the northern town of Douentza, disarming without a fight a local militia trying to wrest back control of the rebel-held north, fighters on both sides said on Sunday.

Meanwhile, regional military powerhouse Algeria said it was checking reports of the execution of one of its diplomats held by the same Islamist group, MUJWA, which has strong links with al Qaeda in the region. ... Full Story Top Portugal PM defiant on austerity success Sun,2 Sep 2012 10:03 AM PDT Reuters - LISBON (Reuters) - Portugal's government is managing to slash spending in line with commitments to its global lenders and the budget gap is shrinking, Prime Minister Pedro Passos Coelho said on Sunday, rejecting opposition claims his austerity plan has failed. EU and IMF inspectors are conducting the quarterly review of the debt-laden country's performance under their 78-billion euro bailout amid rising expectations they will have to grant the country some relief on tough fiscal goals it looks set to miss despite sticking to a tough austerity recipe. ... Full Story Top Sudan, South Sudan to resume flights between capitals Sun,2 Sep 2012 09:59 AM PDT Reuters - KHARTOUM/JUBA (Reuters) - Sudan and South Sudan have agreed to resume direct flights between their capital cities nearly five months after they were halted during a dispute over the status of South Sudanese living in the north, both sides said on Sunday.

Full Story Top U.S. drone kills five suspected militants in Yemen Sun,2 Sep 2012 09:33 AM PDT Reuters - SANAA (Reuters) - Five suspected militants linked to al Qaeda were killed by a U.S. drone attack on Sunday in central Yemen, in what appears to be stepped up strikes by unmanned aircraft on Islamists.

Full Story Top Mali Islamists retake town, extending reach south Sun,2 Sep 2012 08:14 AM PDT Reuters - BAMAKO (Reuters) - Islamists in Mali have retaken control of a northern town, disarming without a fight a local militia operating there with the aim of wresting back control of the rebel-held north, fighters on both sides said on Sunday.

Full Story Top Netanyahu urges international "red lines" to stop Iran Sun,2 Sep 2012 07:48 AM PDT Reuters - JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urged world powers on Sunday to set a "clear red line" for Tehran's atomic program that would convince Iran they were determined to prevent it from obtaining nuclear arms. Netanyahu's remarks suggested a growing impatience with Israel's main ally, the United States, and other countries that have been pressing him to give diplomacy and sanctions more time to work and hold off on any go-it-alone strike on Iran. Recent heightened Israeli rhetoric has stoked speculation that Israel might attack Iran before the U.S. ... Full Story Top Israel evicts settlers from Migron outpost in West Bank Sun,2 Sep 2012 07:33 AM PDT Reuters - MIGRON, West Bank (Reuters) - Israeli settler families were on Sunday evicted from an outpost in the occupied West Bank after a court ruled that it had been built illegally on Palestinian land.

Full Story Top Imam arrested in Pakistan blasphemy case, stirring tensions Sun,2 Sep 2012 06:06 AM PDT Reuters - ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - A Christian girl who was arrested under Pakistan's controversial anti-blasphemy law may have moved a step closer to freedom on Sunday after police detained a Muslim cleric on suspicion of planting evidence to frame her. Still, Rimsha Masih, whose arrest last month angered religious and secular groups worldwide, may be in danger if she returns from jail to her village. Some Muslim neighbors insist she should still be punished, and said the detained imam was a victim. Under Muslim Pakistan's anti-blasphemy law, the mere allegation of causing offence to Islam can mean death. ... Full Story Top
