The government of
Indonesia and rebel leaders from the province of
Aceh (in the north of
Sumatra) have signed a peace accord which negotiators hope will bring an end to fighting in the province.
Venezuela's
Supreme Court announced it was suspending its services, citing political harassment and condemning deadly violence during a general strike by opponents of President
Hugo Chávez.
The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, located in
New York, reversed a lower court ruling that found the federal
death penalty unconstitutional because it amounted to the "state-sponsored murder" of innocent people.
