WASHINGTON WILL NOT ACT UNILATERALLY ON KOSOVO INDEPENDENCE

The US assistant secretary of state said Wednesday Washington would not make any unilateral move to recognize independence for the breakaway Serbian province of Kosovo.
Daniel Fried told reporters that talks in Moscow between US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Russian President Vladimir Putin and his foreign minister failed to bridge deep differences over the future status of the province, but said Washington would continue to pursue a resolution within the UN Security Council.
"We see no advantages whatsoever of taking action outside of the Security Council, we see only disadvantages in every way. A security council resolution in this matter is better", Fried said during a short stop at NATO headquarters.
Fried warned that moves to declare Kosovo's independence without the UN's blessing would be dangerous. "As a factual matter, its probably the case that independence is coming one way or another, it's coming in a way that is supervised, therefore controlled and therefore better off for everyone", Fried said.

PRINCE HARRY WON'T SERVE IN IRAQ

Prince Harry, the third in line to the throne, will not be sent to serve in Iraq after military commanders decided it was too dangerous.
The Ministry of Defence said specific threats made by insurgent groups against Harry, including listing him as a kidnap target, had made any deployment far too risky.
"I've decided the risk to Prince Harry is too great", Richard Dannatt, the head of the army, told reporters.
"I've also decided that the risk he brings to his troop and his squadron ... is also too great".
Dannatt said he knew that Harry, as a dedicated professional soldier, would be greatly disappointed by the news, but said the risks outweighed those considerations.
"There have been a number of specific threats, some reported some not reported, which relate directly to Prince Harry as an individual", Dannatt said.
