| Insight: Indonesia tycoon Bakrie gears up for presidential bid Posted: TANGERANG, Indonesia (Reuters) - There are many ways to describe Indonesia's Aburizal Bakrie: multi-millionaire businessman, global mining tycoon, heavyweight contender for the presidency in 2014. One description that does not spring to mind is man of the common people. So when Bakrie strode into a railway station in south Jakarta last week and slapped the equivalent of one U.S. dollar down on the counter for a ticket, it was a moment of political theatre. It also signaled an early step in the march to presidential elections in mid-2014 in the world's most populous Muslim-majority nation. ... |

| Le Pen to lose to leftist in French assembly vote: poll Posted: PARIS (Reuters) - French far-right leader Marine Le Pen looks set to lose to far-left leader Jean-Luc Melenchon in parliamentary elections next month, dealing a blow to the National Front's hopes for a strong national score, an opinion poll published on Sunday showed. The rivals are running head-to-head in Le Pen's political backyard, the northern working-class town of Henin-Beaumont, in national elections where she hopes momentum gained in the presidential vote will deliver the party its first parliamentary seat. ... |
| Lone bomber, not mafia, sought for Italy school attack Posted: BRINDISI (Reuters) - A bomb attack which killed a teenage girl and wounded 10 others in southern Italy was probably carried out by a lone individual, a senior official said on Sunday, playing down initial suspicions of mafia involvement. Saturday's attack on the Francesca Morvillo Falcone school, a vocational training institute named after the wife of a famed anti-mafia judge in the town of Brindisi, horrified Italy and sparked speculation it was the work of organized crime gangs. ... |

| Megrahi death does not end quest for Lockerbie justice: White House Posted: CHICAGO (Reuters) - The White House said on Sunday that the death of convicted Lockerbie bomber Abdel Bassett al-Megrahi would not end the quest for justice for the families of the 270 people killed when a Pan Am airliner was blown up over Scotland in 1988. Megrahi, 60, who was convicted in 2001 but maintained his innocence, died of cancer at his home in Tripoli, his brother told Reuters. "Megrahi's death concludes an unfortunate chapter following his release from prison in 2009 on medical grounds - a move we strongly opposed," said White House national security council spokesman Tommy Vietor. ... |
