　　Questions 6 to 10

　　Rome

　　“Only non-permanent seat should be added to the United Nations Security Council, as new permanent seats would weaken the body’s representatives, legitimacy, and efficiency,” Italian Foreign Minister Gianfranco Fini said in a recent interview with the Xinhua News Agency. Italy opposes the reform plan compiled by the quartet of Brazil, Germany, Japan and India, which proposes six new permanent members and four non-permanent members for the Security Council, Fini said. He warned that the quartet’s plan, which has already triggered heated discussion among UN member countries and regional groups, could result in the collapse of UN reform. Attempts to reform one body of the UN should not harm other functions of the world organization, in particular, its core functions, Fini said. UN reform need broad consensus through consultations, he said. Italy supports a proposal advocated by some countries that favors an enlargement of the Security Council from 15 to 25 members, with all the ten new seats being non-permanent ones.

　　Hanoi

　　Vietnam aims to boost ties with the United States, especially in trade, Vietnamese Prime Minister Phan Van Khai said yesterday as he set on a groundbreaking visit to Washington. Khai is the first Vietnamese leader to visit the United States since the end of the Vietnam War in 1975, affirming the blossoming relationship between the two former war foes. Khai's trip coincides with the 10th anniversary of the normalization of diplomatic ties frozen after the end of "The American War," as it is known to the Vietnamese. "In the 10 years we have progressed a long way to create a foundation to enhance the relationship to a new phase, a new height, a friendly relationship, a constructive partnership, a comprehensive co-operation for long-term stability for the benefit of both sides," Khai said before boarding a Boeing-777 for Washington. The 72-year-old economist appeared keen to promote business and trade with the United States.

　　New York

　　The names, banks and account numbers of up to 40 million credit card holders may have been accessed by an unauthorized user, MasterCard International Inc. said. The credit card giant said on Friday the security breach involved a computer data for the purpose of fraud and may have affected holders of all brands of credit cards. It said the breach was traced to Atlanta-based Card Systems Solutions Inc, which processes credit card and other payments for banks and merchants. The compromised data did not include addresses or Social Security numbers, said MasterCard spokeswoman Sharon Gampson. The data that may have been viewed - names, banks and account numbers - could be used to steal funds but not identities.

　　Gaza

　　A Palestinian gunman and an Israeli were killed in an exchange of fire in the southern Gaza Strip yesterday after a squad of militants fired anti-tank missiles at Israeli soldiers and civilian laborers. The Palestinian attack along Gaza's frontier with Egypt coincided with a visit to Israel and the West Bank by US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. The militant Islamic Jihad Organization and the Abu Rish Brigades, a splinter group that is linked to the mainstream Fatah faction, claimed responsibility for the attack.. Islamic Jihad said the attack was in response to Israeli actions, including raids and the West Bank arrest last week of senior political leader Mohammed Jaradat.

　　Madrid

　　Violent Basque separatist ETA announced a halt to attacks on elected Spanish politicians, a Basque paper said on Saturday. But a government source said the move fell well short of its condition for talks. Basque newspaper Gara reported that ETA sent it a communiqué, saying its decision was motivated by recent political changes. Spain Socialist government said in May that it would talk to ETA, which has killed around 850 people in a four-decade independence campaign if it laid down its arms. The government considered it totally unacceptable that ETA discriminates or chooses its criminal targets, a government source said in reaction to ETA’s announcement.
