Ex-Arab League boss vows reform, dismisses Mubarak link Posted: CAIRO (Reuters) - The 75-year-old former head of the Arab League has vowed to serve just one four-year term if elected Egypt's president, but Amr Moussa's Islamist rivals, who see him as a relic from Hosni Mubarak's era, say he doesn't even deserve that long. Moussa, who became popular with ordinary Egyptians as head of the Cairo-based League, is tipped as a front-runner in next month's election. Many Egyptians fondly remember how he regularly slammed Israeli policies and in 2003 warned against the U.S-led invasion of Iraq, saying it would "open the gates of hell". ... |

Analysis: Gulf states struggle to agree on missile shield Posted: ABU DHABI (Reuters) - Distrust among Sunni Gulf Arab states has scuppered the installation of a joint missile shield which Washington has long urged as the best means of defense against any strike by Iran.
