On Wednesday, Mr Katsav angrily denied the accusations against him Israeli MPs have narrowly approved a request by President Moshe Katsav to take leave of absence so he can fight rape and other allegations. Committee members pored over legal documents in an attempt to work out the consequences of their recommendations. The case has shaken Israeli political circles and Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has called on him to step down. On Wednesday Mr Katsav angrily denied the allegations, describing them as "the libel, the defamation, the lies". Correspondents say the move to consider Mr Katsav as "temporarily incapacitated" is a face-saving measure as Attorney General Menachem Mazuz decides whether to order what would be an unprecedented criminal trial for an Israeli head of state. The House Committee vote could hardly have been closer, with 13 MPs voting in favour of the president's request for a three-month leave of absence and 11 against. At a news conference on Wednesday, an irate Mr Katsav hit out at his accusers. "The law does not oblige me to resign," he said. "I will not give in to blackmail." Speaker of Parliament Dalia Itzik will take on Mr Katsav's mainly ceremonial role. As president, Mr Katsav has immunity from prosecution - a status unaffected by the suspension approved on Thursday. But there is growing pressure on him to step down and also moves by lawmakers to impeach him. "Under these circumstances, there is no doubt in my mind that the president cannot continue to fulfil his position and he must leave the president's residence," Mr Olmert said on Wednesday. Mr Mazuz said on Tuesday that he intended to charge Mr Katsav with offences including rape, obstruction of justice and fraud.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - More than 3,000 U.S. troops will stay in Afghanistan longer than planned, the Pentagon said on Thursday, as NATO commanders seek to boost combat power ahead of an expected spring offensive by Taliban militants. The 3,200 troops from the 3rd Brigade, 10th Mountain Division, were due to complete a year-long deployment next month, defense officials said. But their tour has been extended by up to 120 days, the Defense Department said in a statement. Dingell and Pelosi visited the hybrid-vehicle display and smiled for the cameras, but they had little to say about their committee dispute.

RedditFacebook Defense Secretary Robert Gates said last week on a visit to Afghanistan that U.S. and NATO commanders had asked for more troops and that he was sympathetic to their request. By keeping in place both the brigade and the soldiers who have arrived to replace them, commanders can significantly boost the size of U.S. forces, which form part of a NATO force charged with stabilizing Afghanistan. "This extension will provide military capability for NATO to maintain the initiative and build upon the success achieved in promoting stability and security, while denying safe haven for the Taliban," the Pentagon said. There are some 24,000 U.S. troops in Afghanistan, including both those whose tours are being extended and those originally intended to replace them, defense officials said. The NATO force of more than 33,000 troops engaged in fierce and deadly battles last year with a resurgent Taliban in southern Afghanistan. U.S. commanders have said they expect the Taliban to try to increase the level of violence again in spring. Fighting in Afghanistan traditionally subsid

Sen. Hillary Clinton finally ended all the speculation about her presidential ambitions over the weekend, declaring her candidacy on her Web site. In doing so, she instantly became the one to beat in a crowded field of wannabes. In fact, a new CBS News poll shows Clinton holding a 17-point edge over Sen. Barack Obama among Democratic voters. "It will be a great contest with a lot of talented people," Clinton said Sunday -- "a lot" being the operative word. Clinton told CBS Evening News anchor Katie Couric on Monday that she is proud of her husband's White House record and wants to build on it. "I could go on for a long time about all the good things that were done for the country and America's position in the world during the eight years of my husband's administration," Clinton said. "And I would like to get back to building on what works … recommending the kind of bold, but practical changes -- like universal health care, like energy independence -- that were not possible in the first Clinton administration." Iraq may be one of the biggest issues on the campaign trail, and Clinton reiterated to Couric that she opposes the "escalation the president has proposed." "Unfortunately, the fact is he is carrying out the policy. He already had in motion the movement of troops into Iraq," Clinton said. "What we're trying to do is send a bipartisan message, if possible, that we disapprove of this escalation, that we want to begin a phased redeployment that I have called for more than a year and a half -- that we want to get our troops home as soon as possible." In her first appearance after Saturday's announcement, New York's junior senator upstaged two other contenders who announced their entry into the race: New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, a fellow Democrat, and Sen. Sam B
