| Saudi Arabia: bin Laden family let in on humanitarian grounds Posted: JEDDAH (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia has allowed the family of al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden into the kingdom on humanitarian grounds, state media reported on Saturday, almost a year after U.S. special forces killed the world's most wanted man in Pakistan. Pakistan deported the family this week, ending months of speculation about the fate of his wives and children who were detained by Pakistani security forces after the May 2 raid. A Saudi official was quoted by the state Saudi Press Agency (SPA) as saying the family arrived in the kingdom on Thursday. ... |
| Fehrnstrom: Romney Wouldn't Have Slow-Jammed Posted: You won't see Mitt Romney slow-jamming to student-loan news anytime soon. President Obama grooved to the smooth musical stylings of The Roots this week, talking student loans with the late-night host as he campaigned to prevent an interest-rate hike. Senior Romney adviser Eric Fehrnstrom suggested... |
| Mali junta rejects West African transition plan Posted: BAMAKO (Reuters) - A military junta that seized power in Mali last month rejected a regional plan to extend the rule of an interim civilian government on Saturday, casting a shadow over delicately-balanced negotiations to resolve the country's crisis. The junta had already agreed to hand over power for 40 days to a civilian government led by caretaker president Dioncounda Traore, and then allow the country to hold elections by the end of May. But the West African regional bloc ECOWAS on Thursday said the interim government should have up to 12 months to hold the elections. ... |

| Egypt Salafis back ex-Brotherhood man for president Posted: CAIRO (Reuters) - Influential Egyptian hardline Islamist movement, the Salafi Call, said on Saturday it will back moderate former Muslim Brotherhood member Abdel Moneim Abol Fotouh for president, hurting the Brotherhood's chances of winning next month's vote. "The Salafi Call has decided by majority vote to back Abdel Moneim Abol Fotouh in the presidential elections," senior Salafi Call member Yasser Borhamy said.

| China makes new proposal on Russia gas deal Posted: MOSCOW (Reuters) - Chinese energy officials signaled on Saturday they were keen to pursue a major gas deal with Russia despite a proliferation of alternative supplies, and said they had made a new proposal to overcome a price deadlock. Talks between China, the world's fastest growing energy consumer, and Russia, the world's largest conventional gas producer, fell apart late last year when China, frustrated by years of stalemate over price, increased its supplies from rival producer Turkmenistan. ... |
| Saudi recalls Cairo envoy in blow to Egypt ties Posted: CAIRO (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia said on Saturday it had recalled its ambassador in Cairo for security reasons after protests in Egypt against the kingdom's arrest of an Egyptian lawyer, marking a diplomatic rupture between the long-time allies. The withdrawal of the Saudi envoy appeared a sharp message to Egypt's rulers of the need to maintain good ties with a Gulf state that last week agreed to send $2.7 billion to support Cairo's battered finances. ... |

| European firms keen but cautious over Myanmar: Ashton Posted: YANGON (Reuters) - European firms seeking to invest in Myanmar are unlikely to rush into business deals until more concrete reforms are put in place, despite a suspension of economic sanctions by the EU, its foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton said on Saturday. The European Union and other powers have moved in recent weeks to ease sanctions on Myanmar, as the once pariah nation embarks on landmark reforms and seeks engagement with the world. ... |

| South Sudan army denies arrested foreigners aiding its forces Posted: JUBA (Reuters) - South Sudan's army said that three foreigners arrested by Sudan near a disputed border area were not helping its forces, contrary to accusations by Khartoum. "That is rubbish and just a lie," the spokesman for South Sudan's army (SPLA), Philip Aguer, said. Aguer said SPLA sources in Bentiu, the capital of South Sudan's Unity State, told him that a U.N. truck had got lost in the disputed border area and were "caught by the Sudanese Armed Forces". "The humanitarian truck ... should have been allowed free passage," Aguer said. ... |
