Cupid can always use a little encouragement even in Spain. Men of all ages in the village of Hoyocasero have welcomed busloads of nervous women hoping to meet their match in a scheme that’s trying to repopulate this isolated area of just 400 people.
    Around 150 men from a group of villages greeted an equal number of women from Spain and Latin America in the town square.
    The women taking part in the event, responded to Internet advertisements and paid 45 euros each to take part in the day’s activities.
    The United States urged the Sudanese government on Monday to approve the deployment of a hybrid force made up of African Union (AU) and United Nations troops in the restive western Sudanese region of Darfur.
    Visiting US Deputy Secretary of State John Negroponte told a press conference that a UN-AU hybrid peacekeeping force was critical to the success of a Darfur peace deal signed by the Sudanese government and one rebel group in 2006.
    "We must move quickly to a larger hybrid United Nations-African Union peacekeeping force with a single unified chain of command that conforms to UN standards and practices," Negroponte said.
    Luxembourg Foreign Minister Jean Asselborn said Sunday night that he viewed Britain as "a real problem" to a deal on a "roadmap" plan for a new European Union (EU) treaty as Britain insists on omitting the "fundamental rights" chapter from the new document.
    "To remove the fundamental rights chapter will be unimaginable for countries like Luxembourg and Spain, which have approved the 2004 edition of the EU constitution," Asselborn said following the first night of talks of the EU foreign ministers.
    The original EU constitution contains a chapter of "fundamental rights" including democracy and human rights. The process of the EU charter was stalled after rejections by French and Dutch voters in 2005 referendums.
    A man wanted by Kenyan police in connection with last Monday’s explosion in Nairobi that killed one person and injured 37 others surrendered on Sunday, maintaining his innocence.
    Mohammed Farah Hirsi, 41, surrendered to Kenya Anti-Terrorism Police Unit and was immediately put into custody for questioning, Kenyan police spokesman Eric Kiraithe told journalists in Nairobi.
    Kiraithe who released the name and a photograph of Hirsi on Saturday said they believed he could have information about the mysterious explosion which threw the nation into panic.
    The blast was close to the site of the 1998 US embassy bombing which killed more than 200 people and injured thousands of others.
    A Taliban suicide bomber blew up a police bus in the heart of the Afghan capital yesterday, killing more than 20 people in the single deadliest bombing to hit Afghanistan since the Taliban were ousted in 2001.
    The blast tore apart the bus, wounding dozens of bystanders, wrecking several other vehicles and scattering body parts. Kabul’s police criminal branch chief, Ali Shah Paktiawal, said some 35 people were killed, including many police officers.
    President Hamid Karzai condemned the attack, calling it an attempt to block the training of Afghanistan’s Western-led police force, the palace said. It put the death toll at 22 people. Kabul’s police chief, Esmatullah Dawlatzai, said 24 people had been killed and 52 wounded.
