Egypt’s military commander announced Wednesday the suspension of the constitution and the replacement of President Mohamed Morsi with the chief justice of the constitutional court, a move that effectively overthrew the nation’s first democratically elected leader. The commander, Gen. Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, also announced the military’s intention to hold new elections, although he did not give a date.
The announcement set off wild celebrations among protesters who had demanded Morsi’s ouster. But it is likely to provoke an angry backlash among Morsi’s Islamist supporters.

Taliban suspends Afghanistan talks with U.S.

 Read:
Los Angeles Times | March 15, 2012 | 6:13 a.m.
The Taliban movement announced today that it was suspending dialogue with the United States, and President Hamid Karzai demanded that NATO troops pull back to major bases and accelerate Afghan responsibility for safeguarding the country.
The Taliban statement, posted on its website and emailed to journalists, represents a major blow to hopes for a negotiated end to the 10-year war.
The group's leadership blamed a U.S. representative for presenting conditions that were "unacceptable." It did not specify what those conditions were.

 TEL NOF AIR FORCE BASE, ISRAEL — Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit returned to Israel Tuesday morning after five years of captivity in the Gaza Strip, the Israeli army said.
His release by the militant Palestinian group Hamas was the first and crucial step of a prisoner swap that will include the release of 1,027 Palestinian prisoners from Israeli jails.
Shalit, 25, was brought from Gaza into Egypt, then turned over to Israeli officials and taken across the border. He is expected to speak to relatives by telephone and undergo a medical examination before being flown to this air base, where his relatives are waiting.

TRIPOLI, Libya -- Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton traveled to the Libyan capital on Tuesday, bringing encouragement and millions of dollars in new U.S. aid to a transitional government struggling to consolidate its control over a country ravaged by dictatorship and civil war.
Clinton arrived in Tripoli just after noon, becoming the first cabinet-level U.S. official to visit the country since autocratic leader Moammar Gaddafi was driven from the capital nearly two months ago.
She was scheduled to meet with top officials of the transitional government and address a town hall-style gathering during a five-hour visit steeped in both security and symbolism.

Pakistan Arrests C.I.A. Informants Who Aided Bin Laden Raid

Pakistan Arrests C.I.A. Informants Who Aided Bin Laden Raid

Pakistan’s top military spy agency has arrested some of the Pakistani informants who fed information to the Central Intelligence Agency in the months leading up to the raid that led to the death of Osama bin Laden, according to American officials.

Pakistan’s detention of five C.I.A. informants, including a Pakistani Army major who officials said copied the license plates of cars visiting Bin Laden’s compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, in the weeks before the raid, is the latest evidence of the fractured relationship between the United States and Pakistan. It comes at a time when the Obama administration is seeking Pakistan’s support in brokering an endgame in the war in neighboring Afghanistan.

The fate of the C.I.A. informants arrested in Pakistan is unclear, but American officials said that the C.I.A. director, Leon E. Panetta, raised the issue when he travelled to Islamabad last week to meet with Pakistani military and intelligence officers.

Insurgents Disappear When U.S. Tips Off Pakistan

The Daily Beast
The Morning Scoop
This might pose a problem to the U.S. and Pakistan's new joint counterterrorism plan. The U.S. has given Pakistan the location of insurgent bomb-making factories several times in recent weeks, only to have the insurgents learn their cover had been blown and disappear. The U.S. gave Pakistan the intelligence as part of a trust-building exercise following the raid that killed Osama bin Laden, but now officials are worried the information was either accidentally leaked or deliberately given to the insurgents. The leaks will likely be a primary topic of conversation between Pakistani officials and CIA Director Leon Panetta, who arrived in Pakistan Friday.

Breaking News Alert: CIA to search bin Laden compound

May 26, 2011 12:57:57 PM

----------------------------------------
Pakistan has agreed to allow the CIA to send a forensics team to examine the compound where Osama bin Laden was killed, giving the agency permission to use sophisticated equipment in a search for al-Qaeda materials that may have been hidden inside walls or buried at the site, U.S. officials said.

The arrangement would allow the CIA for the first time to enter a complex that it had previously scrutinized only from a distance, using satellites, stealth drones and spies operating from a nearby safe house that was shuttered when bin Laden was killed.

Breaking News Alert: Egypt to open border crossing for Palestinians, easing Gaza blockade

May 25, 2011 1:41:21 PM

----------------------------------------
Egypt will open its only crossing with the Gaza Strip this weekend, the Cairo military government announced Wednesday, significantly easing a four-year blockade on the Hamas-ruled territory but setting up a potential conflict with Israel.

This gives Gaza Palestinians a way to freely enter and exit their territory for the first time since 2007, when Hamas overran the territory, and Israel and Egypt closed the crossings.
