cell

Milosevic had been on trial for genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes since 2002. Milosevic, who was in office for 13 years, was sent to The Hague war crimes court in June 2001, eight months after he was toppled in a popular uprising. When his trial began in Febuary 2002 he faced 60 counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity for his alleged central role in the wars in Bosnia, Croatia and Kosovo in which 200,000 Muslims were brutally killed. Abbas 'rejects' Hamas
programme
Mahmud Abbas, the Palestinian president, has rejected Hamas's proposed government programme because it does not meet his demands and those of the international community on relations with Israel. Abbas "rejected the Hamas government programme which was presented to him by prime minister-designate Ismail Haniya because the principal political points in it have to be clear for the international community", an official said. Abbas has given Hamas two weeks to change its programme in accordance with his demands, the official added. That would give Haniya until 28 March -the same day as a scheduled general election in the Zionist state of Israel. Jordan hangs two over murder

The overnight attack in the North Waziristan tribal region was ordered after intelligence reports suggested that miscreant were gathered in a compound along with a huge cache of arms, ammunition and explosives.

Bahrain
Bahraini police have arrested 24 people after using tear gas to disperse a protest in the Gulf Arab state. The protesters were demanding the release of 10 youths arrested after a sit-in at the country's airport in December over the brief detention of a Shia Muslim cleric, Shaikh Mohammed Sanad, as he returned from Iran. A police official claimed protesters had stormed a shopping mall and vandalised property. Bahrain, headquarters of the US Navy's Fifth Fleet, witnessed political unrest in the 1980s and the 1990s by its Shia majority who were demanding more rights from the Sunni-led government. The least wealthy of the Gulf oil producers, Bahrain has a history of political tension over unemployment and alleged human right abuses.

embittered crisis talks
Talks between Lebanese leaders aimed at digging the country out of political quagmire are to resume Monday amid persistent divisions, which caused the meeting to break off mid-way. The political roundtable, the first of its kind since the end of Lebanon’s civil war (1975-1990) and the April 2005 departure of Syrian troops, was designed to insulate Lebanese leaders from external pressures so they could forge a so-far elusive unity. The week-long talks kicked off on March 2 but were broken off several days later after Druze leader Walid Jumblatt, a staunch opponent of Damascus for US support in efforts against Lebanon’s eastern neighbour. Iraq parliament to convene
Iraq's president has invited parliament to convene on 19 March, a day after the powerful Shia Alliance asked for more time to negotiate a national unity government. Iraq's political leaders are deadlocked over who should be prime minister in the new government. Sunnis and Kurds are opposed to Ibrahim al-Jaafari staying on in the powerful post. The Shia Alliance, which has a majority in the parliament elected in December, said it was determined to resist the efforts to oust al-Jaafari. Sunni and Kurdish parties accuse al-Jaafari of failing to improve security or prosperity in the year he has been interim prime minister. US has no plans to attack Iran:
Rumsfeld
US Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said the United States has no plans to attack Iran but warned that US forces would take ‘appropriate’ action to stop Iranian forces infiltrating Iraq. Rumsfeld charged that Iran is sending people into Iraq to do 'damaging and dangerous' things to US forces and warned that 'our forces will certainly take the appropriate steps to stop them'. This was followed by a more explicit warning in the Senate testimony, declaring that US forces will treat any Iranian forces that fight them inside Iraq as enemy forces. Pentagon: No halt to Gitmo forced
feedings
The Pentagon has said it will not halt the forced feeding of detainees on hunger strike at the Guantanamo Bay detention camp, despite medical and legal protests that consider it a form of torture. Doctors from across the world have urged the US military to stop the forced feeding calling the procedure "degrading and unethical". In a letter to medical journal The Lancet published on Friday, 263 doctors from Britain, Ireland, the United States, Germany, Australia, Italy and the Netherlands also appealed to the American Medical Association, which endorses a World Medical Association ban on the force feeding of patients. Many of the 490 men currently at Guantanamo have been held for four years without charge. Bin Laden niece to be reality TV
star
Osama bin Laden may not appear on television as much as he used to, but his niece is not so shy. Wafah Dufour Bin Ladin has signed a deal to appear in a reality television show about her life and her, as yet, unfulfilled 'quest for stardom'. Dufour, who has dropped the Bin Ladin from her name, was born in California and raised mainly in the US but lived in Saudi Arabia from the age of three to 10. Her mother was married to the al-Qaida leader's half brother. In a statement Dufour said: "I understand that when people hear my last name, they have preconceived notions, but I was born an American and I love my country."
