U.S., Afghan leaders sign pact
about troops’ nighttime raids
Tackling one of the major sources of friction in
Washington’s tenuous relationship with Kabul, U.S.
officials on Sunday signed an agreement that gives
Afghan authorities legal and operational oversight over
nighttime raids carried out by American troops—a tac-
tic that has been successful against Taliban insurgents
but deeply unpopular with Afghan citizens.
The pact with Afghan officials was hailed at a sign-
ing ceremony in Kabul as an important steppingstone
toward an overarching strategic partnership agreement
that will govern the relationship between the two coun-
tries after U.S. troops withdraw at the end of 2014.
That broader agreement is expected to address issues
such as the level of U.S. counterterrorism forces that will
be deployed in Afghanistan after American troops leave
and the size of Afghan security forces that Western na-
tions will help fund at a time when many of those coun-
tries face a troubled economic climate.

BAMAKO, Mali — From
one of the hiding places
where he has been holed
up since last month’s coup,
Mali's president penned a
resignation letter and hand-
ed it to an emissary to deliv-
er to the country’s new lead-
ers, while reporters looked
on.
The move paves the way
for Mali to name a new in-
terim president, the next
step in the nation’s return to
democratic rule. President
Amadou Toumani Toure
was just months from finish-
ing his last term, when sol-

Hosni Mubarak's former vice president and tpy
chief Omar Suleiman will have the behind-the-scenes

dia's powerful propaganda machine in his bid to suc-
ceed his longtime mentor for the na-
tion's highest office according to offi-
cials with firsthand knowledge.
Suleiman, 75, will set out as a for-
midable presidential challenger to
stop the Islamists from taking over the
country and may also try to sell him-
self as a safe pair of hands for those in-
creasingly frustrated over tenuous se- qm ar
curity and a worsening economy.
His candidacy speaks to the seismic
changes Egypt has gone through since
millions of people took to the streets last year united
by a desire to topple Mubarak's regime and the dream
of a free, democratic and more just Egypt.

Peruvian government seeks
help to free 9 trapped miners
Peru’s mining minister has appealed to mining
companies for heavy equipment and experts to free
nine miners trapped for four days in an informal cop-
per mine.
Several dozen rescue workers have been using
pickaxes and shovels to try to remove the 26 feet of
collapsed earth and rock blocking the entrance of the
mine, whose horizontal shaft is dug into a mountain.
TV images of the effort showed firefighters Sunday
chopping wooden beams to support the effort.
Thursday's collapse occurred after a blast set by the
miners themselves.
Rescuers have been able to communicate with the
trapped miners and provide them with liquid suste-
nance through a tube.
Mining is the main engine of Peru’s economy, ac-
counting for more than 60 percent of its exports.
