| | Syria mission "nearly impossible": U.N. envoy Sun,2 Sep 2012 11:52 PM PDT Reuters - LONDON (Reuters) - Diplomatic attempts to end the Syrian conflict are "nearly impossible" and not enough is being done to end the fighting, the new U.N. and Arab League mediator Lakhdar Brahimi said in a BBC interview broadcast on Monday. "I know how difficult it is - how nearly impossible. I can't say impossible - nearly impossible," Brahimi, an Algerian diplomat, told the BBC. "And we are not doing much. That in itself is a terrible weight." Brahimi replaced Kofi Annan as the United Nations and Arab League joint special representative on Syria at the end of August. ...

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 | Australia, Kabul argue over deadly search for rogue Afghan killer Sun,2 Sep 2012 11:47 PM PDT Reuters - CANBERRA (Reuters) - Australia contradicted Afghan President Hamid Karzai on Monday over a deadly weekend raid in Afghanistan in search of a "rogue" soldier who killed three Australian troops, adding new strains to an increasingly uneasy international coalition. Karzai's office condemned the raid by NATO-led and Afghan troops, during which a 70-year-old Afghan man and his son were killed, describing it as a "unilateral military operation" in breach of an agreement between Kabul and its foreign allies covering such actions. ... Full Story | Top | Suicide bomber kills five, including two Americans, in Pakistan Sun,2 Sep 2012 11:36 PM PDT Reuters - PESHAWAR, Pakistan (Reuters) - A suicide bomber rammed his vehicle into another near a building occupied by the U.N. refugee agency in the Pakistani city of Peshawar on Monday, killing five people, including two Americans, a regional information minister and police said. 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 | 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 | 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. ...

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. ...

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. ...

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. ...

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. ...

After decades of decay, crippling crime rates, and a loss of big business to rival São Paulo, Rio is on the rise. A recent boom in Brazil's economy, the discovery of massive offshore oilfields nearby, and Rio's planned hosting of the World Cup and Olympics in the next four years have restored some of the splendor to the tropical city of 6.5 million people. But one local official is tired of the exuberance. ...

"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. ...

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. ...

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. ...

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. ...

A mix of Islamists control the northern two-thirds of Mali, having hijacked a rebellion initially launched in January by secular Tuareg rebels seeking independence. 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. ...

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. ...

Police said the settlers left the site quietly for temporary housing at another settlement, but eight youths who came to the Migron outpost to protest against the eviction were arrested. The Supreme Court had ruled that Migron, home to 50 families, had been built illegally on privately-owned Palestinian land.

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. ...

Censorship was officially abolished in Sudan in 2009, but the secession of South Sudan a year ago, border tensions, and a spate of small anti-government demonstrations have worsened the situation for press freedom. Authorities confiscated copies of the independent al-Sahafa, one of Sudan's oldest dailies, after it had been printed, the newspaper's editor Alnoor Ahmed Alnoor said. ...

The reference was diplomatically sensitive because Iran, a Shi'ite Muslim power and an ally of the Syrian government, has expressed sympathy with a Shi'ite-led democratic protest movement in Bahrain against the ruling Al Khalifa family. The Khalifas, backed by Washington, are Sunni Muslim. ...
