| Suspected bomb prompts evacuation of Idaho courthouse Posted: 29 May 2012 02:54 PM PDT SALMON, Idaho (Reuters) - A federal courthouse and office building in Idaho was evacuated on Tuesday and nearby streets cordoned off after authorities discovered a package suspected to be a mail bomb, federal and local officials said. A mail clerk alerted marshals about a suspicious package delivered to the building by the U.S. Postal Service in Pocatello and an initial X-ray inspection of the parcel suggested it may contain an explosive device, a U.S. Marshals Service supervisor said. ... |

She said the victim, Jose Sanchez, 55, was standing across the street from a polling place in San Juan in South Texas, holding a campaign sign.

| U.S. expels top Syrian diplomat, rejects intervention Posted: 29 May 2012 02:21 PM PDT WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States expelled Syria's top diplomat in Washington on Tuesday following what it described as the "despicable" massacre of more than 100 civilians in a Syrian town. State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said Syrian Charge d'Affaires Zuheir Jabbour had been given 72 hours to leave the country, part of a wave of expulsions of Syrian diplomats from Western capitals. While the moves were symbolically important and aimed at increasing Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's isolation, the Obama administration continued to resist any U.S. ... |
| Facebook faces extended U.S. review of Instagram deal Posted: 29 May 2012 02:20 PM PDT (Reuters) - Facebook has received notice that U.S. antitrust regulators will give its proposed purchase of the popular photo-sharing app maker Instagram a lengthy investigation, an industry source told Reuters on Tuesday. Facebook has received a "second request" from the Federal Trade Commission, essentially a request for relatively large amounts of data that the regulators will sift through to ensure that the deal complies with antitrust law. A prolonged review adds another headache to the No. ... |
| Tunisia judges start indefinite strike over purge Posted: 29 May 2012 02:19 PM PDT TUNIS (Reuters) - Tunisian judges began an indefinite strike on Tuesday to protest at the firing of dozens of magistrates, increasing pressure on a government already facing the biggest upsurge in protests since it came to power in a democratic transition. Justice Minister Noureddine Bhiri fired 81 judges earlier this week on suspicion of corruption and ties to the administration of Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali, the autocratic ruler ousted last year in a revolt that inspired the "Arab Spring. ... |
| GOP Michigan congressman to run write-in campaign Posted: 29 May 2012 02:08 PM PDT U.S. Rep. Thaddeus McCotter of Michigan should have had an easy time knocking off a little-known opponent in the Republican primary and winning a sixth term this fall in his GOP-leaning district. Instead, he's fighting for his political life after saying Tuesday he'll be forced to run a write-in campaign because his staff didn't file enough valid petition signatures to get him on the Aug. 7 ballot. |

| Convicted killer hangs himself on California's death row Posted: 29 May 2012 01:58 PM PDT LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A convicted killer sentenced to death for the 1979 murder of a 13-year-old boy has hanged himself on California's death row, months before voters in the state are due to decide whether to abolish the death penalty, prison officials said on Tuesday. James Lee Crummel, 68, was found hanging in his cell at San Quentin State Prison, California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation spokesman Sam Robinson said in a written statement. Crummel, who had prior convictions for child molestation, was pronounced dead at 4:20 p.m. on Sunday. ... |
| U.S. jobs growth seen picking up in May Posted: 29 May 2012 01:57 PM PDT WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. employment growth likely regained some momentum in May as weather-related distortions that had held back hiring began to fade, suggesting the economy's moderate recovery is still on track. Employers are expected to have added 150,000 new workers to their payrolls, according to a Reuters survey of economists, after creating a meager 115,000 new positions in April, the fewest in six months. That would bring non-farm employment growth closer to its 176,000 a month average of the past three months and offer assurance the U.S. ... |

Security Council between Syria's ally Russia and Western powers calling for President Bashar al-Assad's ouster. ... |

France joined the United States, Australia, Britain, Canada, Germany, Italy and Spain in expelling heads of Syrian diplomatic missions in a coordinated move in response to last week's killing of at least 108 people in the town of Houla. ... |

Spain is trying to control three areas of spending, at the central government level, the 17 autonomous regions and social security after missing the 2011 budget deficit target by a large margin.

| French unions warn of mass job cuts in reform talks Posted: 29 May 2012 01:29 PM PDT PARIS (Reuters) - French unions pressed President Francois Hollande at the start of labor talks on Tuesday to prove his job-saving mettle by handing his Socialist cabinet a list of looming company shutdowns that are threatening tens of thousands of jobs. Hollande, who came to power this month against a grim economic backdrop, has promised to reverse rising unemployment and shore up the struggling manufacturing sector, partly by pumping investment into small and medium businesses. ... |

| Fugitive Venezuela judge helps elite U.S. anti-drugs unit Posted: 29 May 2012 01:12 PM PDT CARACAS/MIAMI (Reuters) - A former Venezuelan Supreme Court judge who fled the country last month is cooperating with an elite special operations unit of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration that targets major international traffickers, according to sources familiar with the case. Testimony by Eladio Aponte could pave the way for indictments of President Hugo Chavez's allies. That would embarrass the socialist leader and help Washington cast its ideological adversary as leading a pariah nation. ... |
