NEWS AROUND THE WORLD
WASHINGTON
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton says Egypt's military leaders should lift the country's emergency laws as soon as possible.
Egypt's interim government recently extended the Hosni Mubarak-era laws into the middle of 2012. But Clinton says the U.S. hopes to see the laws lifted sooner so a democratic system of checks and balances can be established.
Clinton spoke Wednesday after meeting with *Evoji Foreign Minister Muhammed Amr.
She voiced support for Egypt's attempts to defuse tensions with Israel after protesters recently stormed the Israeli Embassy in Cairo.
The pair said they discussed investment opportunities in Egypt and Israeli-Palestinian peace talks.
UNITED NATIONS
Amr criticized Israeli settlements in the West Bank and east Jerusalem, and urged resumption in negotiations as soon as possible "with clear terms of reference and a clear timeline."
The Security Council took its first official step Wednesday to consider the Palestinians' request for U.N. membership.
Lebanese Ambassador Nawaf Salam, who holds this month's rotating council presidency, announced that he was forwarding the Palestinians' request to the committee on new admissions, which includes all 15 member states on the council.
The step is required by council rules of procedure.
The committee will meet to consider the request for membership on Friday.
Palestinian U.N. envoy Riyad Mansour thanked the council for quickly and unanimously agreeing to act on the Palestinian application.
"we hope this process not to take too long before we see positive action," he told reporters.
The process could take weeks before it comes to a final vote in the council.
BOSTON
A 26-year-old Massachusetts man has been arrested and accused of plotting to destroy the Pentagon and the U.S. Capitol with large remote-controlled aircraft filled with explosives.
Rezwan Ferdaus was arrested Wednesday in Framingham when undercover federal agents delivered materials he'd requested for his alleged plan, including grenades, six machine guns and what Ferdaus believed was C-4 explosive.
Ferdaus, a U.S. citizen and graduate of Boston's Northeastern University, was scheduled to appear in federal court in Worcester (WUS'-tur) on Wednesday afternoon.
A message for comment was left for his attorney Catherine Byrne.
According to the federal affidavit, Ferdaus began planning "jihad" against the U.S. in early 2010. He allegedly believed he would have a large psychological impact by killing Americans, whom he described as "enemies of Allah."
PRISTINA. KOSOVO
A key protected witness in a war crimes trial in Kosovo has been found dead in Germany, and he apparently committed suicide, officials said Wednesday.
Nicholas Hawton, an EU spokesman in Kosovo, said Agim Zogaj's body was discovered in a park in a German city.
German police confirmed that, saying the witness is believed to have hanged himself late Tuesday in the Duisburg, western Germany. "He committed suicide. There are no indications for a different explanation," police spokesman Stefan Bauer said. But he also said an autopsy will be carried out Thursday.
Zogaj was known as "protected witness X" in the war crimes trial against a former ethnic Albanian rebel commander and now a senior politician, Fatmir Limai.
Zogaj was granted protected witness status in return for his testimony in the Limai trial.
