Congo Brazzaville Cease-Fire Gains Traction Amid Chaos
In Brazzaville cease-fire efforts show initial impact as violence subsides and residents report fewer gunfights. French troops evacuate foreigners from the city while militia forces in the streets claim to honor the truce. Two sides battle the lingering fear of renewed fighting ahead of July elections. The capital still bears the scars of a week of clashes, including a child’s death and widespread destruction.

Gaddafi offers to surrender Lockerbie suspects for trial abroad
Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi says he is willing to hand over two Lockerbie bombing suspects Abdel Basset Megrahi and Lamen Khalifa Fhimah for trial anywhere in the world except the United States and Britain. He spoke in Darnah during celebrations marking the 1970 Wheelus base evacuation anniversary. The U.N. sanctions on Libya since 1992 ban air travel and oil exports. Relatives of victims had dismissed a cooperation letter as propaganda.
