War Crimes
NPR's Michele Kelemen reports on the new trend toward "universal
jurisdiction," in which any country can try anybody for war crimes committed
anywhere. Prime Minister Sharon of Israel has put off plans to visit Belgium
because of a case in the works there that alleges Sharon allowed a massacre
of Palestinians 20 years ago. And several countries want to question former
US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger about the US role in Chile 25 years
ago. Kissinger says he's not a criminal. (7:30)

Algeria
NPR's Kate Seelye in Algiers reports on growing anti-government sentiment in
Algeria. Police and paramilitary forces prevented a planned demonstration in
the capital today. Protesters, led by ethnic Berbers, accuse the government
of anti-democratic practices and failing to take action to deal with the
country's economic and social ills. (6:00)
