| Bin Laden anniversary delicate moment for Obama, Romney Posted: WASHINGTON (Reuters) - It was a triumphant moment a year ago for the United States and President Barack Obama, but now the anniversary of Osama bin Laden's killing presents an election-year challenge for him and his Republican opponents. Obama is expected to acknowledge the May 1 anniversary of the daring Navy SEAL raid on bin Laden's Pakistan compound. But he will not overdo it, a senior White House official said, reflecting perhaps the dangers of hyping an event that speaks for itself - and is still controversial, particularly among Pakistanis who saw the U.S. ... |

| U.S. House to vote on student loan rate extension Posted: WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Republican-led House of Representatives, in an election-year showdown with President Barack Obama, will vote on Friday to extend for 12-months a low interest rate for federal student loans, the top Republican said on Wednesday. House Speaker John Boehner made the surprise announcement, adding that the $6 billion extension would be funded with money from what he described as a "slush fund" in Obama's healthcare overhaul law. Boehner's declaration came after Obama, at campaign-style events, hammered Congress to extend the loan rate before it doubles on July 1 to 6. ... |
| White House warns that Obama would veto cyber security bill Posted: WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama would veto a cyber security bill being considered by the U.S. House of Representatives if it was presented to him for signature, the White House said on Wednesday, citing privacy and oversight concerns.

| Egypt lets Mubarak's PM back in presidential race Posted: CAIRO (Reuters) - The body overseeing Egypt's presidential election on Wednesday accepted an appeal by former prime minister Ahmed Shafiq against his disqualification as a candidate, allowing him back into the race. "The presidential electoral committee headed by Farouk Soltan accepts the appeal of former prime minister Ahmed Shafiq, allowing him to contest the presidential race," state news agency MENA reported.

| Two U.S. defense companies beat estimates Posted: WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Northrop Grumman Corp and Boeing Co did better than expected in the first quarter and raised their full-year profit forecasts. General Dynamics Corp , the other big U.S. defense company to report results on Wednesday, had a 9 percent drop in first-quarter earnings, and cited budget anxiety that was slowing government contract awards and a $67 million charge from its European combat systems operations. The companies warned in calls with industry analysts that their outlooks could dim if U.S. ... |

| HIV-positive man fights charge that saliva was deadly Posted: ALBANY, New York (Reuters) - A gay-rights group is urging New York state's high court to overturn the conviction of an HIV-positive man whose saliva was found to be a "dangerous instrument" in a biting case. David Plunkett was sentenced in 2007 to 10 years in prison for aggravated assault, a felony that requires the use of a "dangerous instrument." Plunkett argued unsuccessfully the charge could not be sustained because HIV cannot be transmitted through saliva. The Court of Appeals, New York's top court, will hear Plunkett's case on Thursday. ... |
| Connecticut abolishes death penalty Posted: HARTFORD, Connecticut (Reuters) - The governor of Connecticut on Wednesday signed into law a repeal of the death penalty, making it the fifth state in recent years to abandon capital punishment. Democratic Gov. Dannel Malloy signed the legislation without fanfare behind closed doors, saying in a statement it was "a moment for sober reflection, not celebration." With the law, which replaces the death penalty with life in prison without the possibility of parole, Connecticut joins 16 other states and the District of Columbia that do not allow capital punishment. ... |
| U.S. accuses two Taiwanese in China military sale case Posted: NEW YORK (Reuters) - Federal prosecutors on Wednesday accused two Taiwanese nationals of trying to buy U.S. military technology on behalf of people they claimed worked in the Chinese government. Federal prosecutors in Newark, New Jersey said Hui Sheng Shen, 45, and Huan Ling Chang, 41, had been under U.S. investigation since February 2011, when they agreed to sell methamphetamine to undercover federal agents. But in a series of meetings in September and October 2011 in Las Vegas, Shen and Chang began asking the undercover agents for U.S. military technology, court documents said. ... |
| Canada to appeal ruling that permits brothels Posted: OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canada's federal government will seek to appeal a court ruling that effectively legalized brothels across the country, Justice Minister Rob Nicholson said on Wednesday. The top court in the province of Ontario last month struck down a section of the Criminal Code that bars brothels, saying that forcing sex workers to stay on the street made it hard for them to take safety precautions. The judges also upheld a section of the code that restricts street prostitution. Accepting money in return for sex is not illegal in Canada, but most related activities are. ... |

| Syrian women risk lives to smuggle aid to dissidents Posted: BEIRUT (Reuters) - When the aspirin and alcohol swabs fell from under her clothes at a Syrian army checkpoint, Rania stood petrified, looking first down at her fallen contraband and then up at the soldier who stared straight back at her. Rania knew that smuggling food and medicine to Syrian opposition activists was considered by security forces to be "aiding terrorists" and treated as severely as weapons smuggling. "I thought to myself: I am dead," said Rania, 27, recalling the incident on the outskirts of Damascus. She was in luck. The soldier was a sympathizer. ... |
