CAIRO, Egypt -- Naguib Mahfouz, the first Arab writer to win the Nobel Prize in literature, died Wednesday at the age of 94, bringing tributes from literary figures and world leaders for an author who became a symbol of liberalism in the face of Islamic extremism. Mahfouz's novels depicted modern life in his beloved neighborhood of Islamic Cairo, a teeming district of millennium-old mosques and winding alleyways. He brought to life his city's traditional families as they faced the 20th century's upheavals, including the changing role of women.

VATICAN CITY His spokesmen tried to dampen the anger with no success. On Sunday, Pope Benedict XVI took on the effort himself, saying he was "deeply sorry" that he caused offense to the world's Muslims with his remarks last week on Islam and violence. His explanation was accepted by some Islamic leaders. But others said he didn't go far enough, and some wondered whether the pope regretted hurting Muslims or the fury being directed at him.
