Central African Republic rebels say divided over peace talks offer

DAKAR (Reuters) - Central African Republic's Seleka rebels are divided over whether to start peace talks with President Francois Bozize or carry on an assault to overthrow him, one of the insurgent group's spokesmen said on Monday.

The rebels have advanced to within 75 km (45 miles) of the mineral-rich country's capital Bangui and their leaders are now considering a proposal from Bozize to hold negotiations and form a unity government.

"At the moment there are divisions within Seleka on this point," said Nelson Ndjadder, a France-based official for CPSK - one of the three main rebels movements that make up the Seleka alliance.

"Some want to keep fighting, but CPSK is ready to put down its weapons and talk," he added.

Another Seleka spokesman, Eric Massi, said earlier in the day the group had rejected Bozize's proposal, but Ndjadder said: "He (Massi) is not speaking on behalf of all of us."

Seleka unites three main former rebel groups - CPJP, UFDR and CPSK - who have accused Bozize of reneging on a 2007 peace deal under which ex-fighters were meant to be paid for laying down their arms.

State Dept. warns Americans about Haiti travel

9 hrs.

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON --?The State Department has issued a revised Haiti travel advisory, warning Americans planning to travel to the Caribbean island nation about robbery, lawlessness, infectious disease and poor medical facilities.

"U.S. citizens have been victims of violent crime, including murder and kidnapping, predominantly in the Port-au-Prince area. No one is safe from kidnapping, regardless of occupation, nationality, race, gender or age," the department said.

The new travel warning was released Friday to replace a less strongly worded advisory issued in June.

In recent months, travelers arriving in Port-au-Prince, the capital and largest city, on flights from the United States have been attacked and robbed after leaving the airport. This year, at least two U.S. citizens were shot and killed in robbery and kidnapping incidents, the State Department said.

"Haitian authorities have limited capacity to deter or investigate such violent acts or prosecute perpetrators," the department said.

The State Department also noted that while the incidents of cholera have declined, the disease persists in many areas of Haiti. Medical facilities, including ambulance services, are particularly weak.

"Thousands of U.S. citizens safely visit Haiti each year, but the poor state of Haiti's emergency response network should be carefully considered when planning travel. Travelers to Haiti are encouraged to use organizations that have solid infrastructure, evacuation and medical support options in place," the department said.?

Lawmakers Push To Close Legal Loophole In Leandra's Law ? CBS ...

Leandra?s Law News Conference Dec. 30, 2012 (credit: Monica Miller/WCBS 880)

MINEOLA, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) ? Ahead of the New Year?s holiday, lawmakers and advocates on Long Island are calling for Albany to close a loophole in Leandra?s Law.

Officials called on state lawmakers to close a loophole allowing convicted drunk drivers to avoid the mandatory ignition interlock requirement under the anti-drunk driving measure.

WCBS 880?s Monica Miller reports

?Leandra?s Law is a good and important piece of legislation but now that we are about a year and a half into the passage of that law, we see and we know that there are loopholes that need to be fixed,? Nassau County District Attorney Kathleen Rice told reporters including WCBS 880?s Monica Miller.??Up to 70 percent of those required to install ignition interlock devices in their cars don?t do it.?

The six-month ignition interlock requires convicted drunk drivers to blow into a device that measures the driver?s blood alcohol level before the car can be started.

?They lie to the court about owning a vehicle, they change vehicle registrations to family members or to friends,? Rice said.

Leandra?s Law was named for 11-year-old Leandra Rosado who was killed in a DWI crash. The measure, signed on Nov. 18, 2009, makes it a felony to drive drunk with a child in the car.

Her father Lenny joined lawmakers at the news conference.

Ahead of one of the biggest drinking nights of the year, advocates again urged those who will be out celebrating to select a designated driver or use cabs or mass transit to get around.

?I guarantee you as sure as we are standing here today, people are going to die at the hands of drunk drivers in 2013. I?ve been doing this for over 20 years and there isn?t one year that Long Island families, New York families haven?t been devastated by drunk drivers. It?s time it stops,? said Marge Lee, president of the group Dedicatedd.

Lee?s family was in an accident caused by a drunk driver. Her son was killed and she now walks with a cane.

?Annoy your assemblyman, annoy your senator. Tell them it?s a no-brainer,?

State Sen. Charles Fuschillo and Assemblyman Harvey Weisenberg were also at the news conference calling for a stronger Leandra?s Law.

Leandra was killed in October 2009 on the Henry Hudson Parkway, in a car driven by Carmen Huertas, the mother of her best friend. Huertas flipped the car carrying herself and six children, and was convicted under Leandra?s Law for driving while intoxicated. She?s now serving 12 years in prison.

Al Qaeda in Yemen offers bounty for U.S. ambassador

DUBAI (Reuters) - The Yemen-based branch of al Qaeda has offered a bounty for anyone who kills the U.S. ambassador to Yemen or an American soldier in the impoverished Arab state, a group that monitors Islamist websites said.

Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) said it was offering three kilograms of gold for the killing of the U.S. ambassador in Sanaa, Gerald Feierstein, the U.S.-based SITE Intelligence Group said, citing an audio released by militants.

AQAP will also pay 5 million rials ($23,350) to whoever kills any American soldier in Yemen, it said.

The offer, valid for six months, was made "to encourage our Muslim Ummah (nation), and to expand the circle of the jihad (holy war) by the masses," SITE said, citing the audio.

AQAP, mostly militants from Yemen and Saudi Arabia, is regarded by the United States as the most dangerous branch of the network founded by Osama bin Laden.

In September, AQAP urged Muslims to step up protests and kill U.S. diplomats in Muslim countries over a film denigrating the Prophet Mohammad, which it said was another chapter in the "crusader wars" against Islam.

The film provoked an outcry among Muslims, who deem any depiction of the Prophet as blasphemous and triggered violent attacks on embassies in countries in Asia and the Middle East.

Four U.S. officials including the ambassador to Libya were killed in the aftermath. The Pentagon said it had sent a platoon of Marines to Yemen after demonstrators stormed the U.S. Embassy in Sanaa.

A U.S. ally, Yemen is struggling against challenges on many fronts since mass protests forced veteran leader Ali Abdullah Saleh to step down in February after decades in power.

President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi's government is trying to re-establish order and unify the army.

Washington, which has pursued a campaign of assassination by drone and missile against suspected al Qaeda members, backed a military offensive in May to recapture areas of Abyan province. But militants have struck back with a series of bombings and killings.
