State media in China say the wife of the once powerful politician Bo Xilai has confessed killing a British businessman Neil Heywood after what she called a mental breakdown. The case led to China's biggest political crisis in years. Martin Patience is in Beijing.
This apperant confession appealed part of a choreographed official response to China's biggest political scandal in a generation. Gu Kailai admitted she killed Neil Heywood last November, stating that was a tragedy. She added that she would calmly accept the court's verdict which is yet to be annouced following yesterday's trial. But by revealing that she suffered a mental breakdown, it's now unlikely the authorities would order her an immediate execution as would be expected in these cases.

The United States has announced more sanctions on the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah which / had already designated as a terrorist organization. Washington accused the Hezbollah of helping in the supression of Syrian uprising. Kim Ghattas has more.
American officials have repeatedly made references to Hazbollah's support for the Syrian government's violent crackdown . But it is the first time that Washington has acted on those accusations. The move by the US treasury however is mostly symbolic because the Lebanese militant group has long been designated as a terrorist organization by the State Department. It's already under heavy sanctions and it does not have any assets in the United States. The announcement seems mostly designed to galvanize public opinion against the group in both Syria and Lebanon.

Reports from Libya say gunmen have shot dead an army general in the eastern city of Benghazi. They say Mohamed Hadia al-Feitouri, who was also a high ranking defense ministry official, was returning from the mosque when he was stopped by four men in a car. His son says his father was asked for his identity and then shot. General Hadia was one of the first officers to join the opposition in last year's uprising .
Police in Mexico have found a man who says he survived a mass killing near the northern city of San Luis Potosi, where officials discovered a van containing 14 bodies on Thursday. The man said he managed to survive by playing dead and letting the attackers piling into van alongside the other bodies. Will Grant reports from Mexico.
Stories of mass killings and bodies being dumped in public spaces are very common in Mexico. Normally, there are no survivors. But in this incident, one man did manage to escape the massacre. He fled into the surrounding countryside before being picked up by two police officers and taken to hospital. The motive for the brutal attack is still unclear, nor is it known which armed gang carried it out.
The United Nations and the African Union have issued a warning that the selection of the new Somali parliament is in danger of being undermined . In a joint statement, the UN representitive Augustine Mahiga and his African Union colleague say there are indications that bribery, intimidation and violence have been used to affect the seletion of Somalia's next president and parliament.

中國國家媒體稱，曾經(jīng)權(quán)傾一時的政客B的妻子已承認在精神崩潰后謀殺英國商人尼爾·伍德，該案件導致中國近幾年來最嚴重的政治危機。馬丁·裴紳斯在北京報道。

But by revealing that she suffered a mental breakdown, it's now unlikely the authorities would order her an immediate execution as would be expected in these cases.
這表面的認罪是官方對這幾十年來最大政治丑聞的精心策劃的反應，G承認去年12月殺死了伍德，稱這是一樁悲劇。她說將平靜接受法院的判決，昨天審判完后判決結(jié)果尚未宣布。不過既然她已透露自己精神崩潰，當局就不大可能會下令立即執(zhí)行，而這類案件一般都這樣處理。

美國官員曾多次提到真主黨支持敘利亞政府的暴力鎮(zhèn)壓，但華盛頓就這些譴責做出行動還是第一次。不過美國財 政部的舉動在很大程度上是象征性的，因為該黎巴嫩武裝組織早已被國務院定為恐怖組織。該組織已經(jīng)受到嚴厲制裁，在美國也沒有什么資產(chǎn)。該宣布看來在很大意 義上是為了煽動輿論來反對敘利亞和黎巴嫩的該組織。
