Strauss-Kahn gets bail, indicted on sex charges

Former IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn was granted bail by a New York
court shortly after he was formally indicted on all sexual assault
charges.

The court agreed to free Strauss-Kahn from a New York City jail on
bail terms of $1 million in cash and also on the condition that he
would remain under house arrest in a Manhattan apartment under the
watch of armed guards.
Strauss-Kahn is allowed to stay with his wife in the apartment.

On June 6, the court will hold an arraignment hearing in which the
exact charges will be revealed.
The former IMF chief, who was indicted on all seven counts, is accused
of groping and mauling a Guinean maid in his room at Sofitel hotel in
Times Square and forcibly tried to have oral sex with her.

Since, prosecutors have argued that he is at flight risk, Strauss-Kahn
has to wear an electronic monitoring device and he will be monitored
by armed guards at his own expense.

Al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden dead - Barack OBAMA

Al-Qaeda founder and leader Osama Bin Laden has been killed by US forces in Pakistan, President Obama has said.

The al-Qaeda leader was killed in a ground operation outside Islamabad based on US intelligence, the first lead for which emerged last August.

Mr Obama said after "a firefight", US forces took possession of his body.

Bin Laden was accused of being behind a number of atrocities, including the attacks on New York and Washington on 11 September 2001.

He was top of the US "most wanted" list.

Mr Obama said it was "the most significant achievement to date in our nation's effort to defeat al-Qaeda".

The US has put its embassies around the world on alert, warning Americans of the possibility of al-Qaeda reprisal attacks for Bin Laden's killing.

Crowds gathered outside the White House in Washington DC, chanting "USA, USA" after the news emerged.
