- Truck Bombing Kills 70 in Somalia
MOGADISHU, Somalia - Al-Qaida-linked militants launched their deadliest single bombing in Somalia on Tuesday, killing 70 people and demonstrating how the group that blocked aid to famine victims still can mount devastating violence even after most of its fighters fled the capital in August. A truck loaded with drums of fuel exploded outside the Ministry of Education on one of central Mogadishu's busiest streets, where students and their parents were registering for scholarships offered by the Turkish government.

- Somali Aid Often Diverted for Payoffs, Corruption -- Nation Hurt by Wasteful Spending
MOGADISHU, Somalia - Ammunition intended for peacekeepers ends up in militant hands. Humanitarian workers pay Somali Islamist rebels protection money. U.N. and Somali officials are accused of skimming from contracts. About $1 billion is poured into Somalia each year for humanitarian, development and security projects, but some of the aid that is wasted, stolen or diverted may be helping feed the 20-year- old conflict instead of ending it.

- Never One to Mince His Words ; General Assembly Chief at U.N. Fires Up Critics
Getting the U.N. General Assembly to agree on anything is, at best, a difficult job - one that usually requires tact and persuasiveness, rather than muscle and bluster. The unofficial protocol for General Assembly (GA) presidents has, for years upon years, been one of public politeness and backroom arm- twisting and candor.

- U.N. Pushes Swift Intervention, but Sudanese Resist Proposal
UNITED NATIONS -- U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan and members of the U.N. Security Council took turns Monday demanding swift intervention to ease the mounting humanitarian crisis in Darfur, but the Sudanese government again resisted a U.N. peacekeeping force. The morninglong council meeting was intended to renew pressure on Sudan to allow the U.N. to take over an African Union peacekeeping force that has been unable to stop the violence in the western Darfur region. But Sudan's President Omar al-Bashir says the switch would violate the country's sovereignty and has warned that his army would fight any U.N. forces sent to Darfur.
