Islamists win 75 percent of Egypt parliament in first post Mubarak vote
Islamist groups secure a strong majority with the Muslim Brotherhood coalition winning 235 seats, Al Nour gaining 125, while liberal and secular parties tally smaller shares. The elections, praised as free by some observers, prompt concerns over a religious tilt as military rulers oversee transition and a future constitution.

Saleh set for Oman exile as Yemen turmoil continues
Yemen officials say outgoing President Ali Abdullah Saleh will depart for Oman en route to medical care in the United States as part of an effort to enable a peaceful transition. Officials split on whether he will stay in Oman or return to Yemen after treatment. A year of protests and a unity government frame the uncertain future amid U.S. concerns over harboring him. A separate report notes a magnitude 6.2 earthquake off Chiapas, Mexico, causing panic but no major damage or injuries.
