BRITAIN
Fox hunters crash Cherie Blair party
LONDON -- About 150 protesters staged a pro-hunting demonstration yesterday outside British Prime Minister Tony Blair's official country residence, where a party celebrating the 50th birthday of his wife Cherie was under way.
One man, naked but for a mask of Tony Blair, hung a sign backing fox hunting from his hips, while a topless woman impersonating Cherie Blair posed outside the gates of Chequers, the residence northwest of London, with "Blair All" written on her chest.
Mr. Blair's government has threatened to force a ban on fox hunting through Parliament over objections from the House of Lords.

Opposition member 'tortured' to death
KHARTOUM -- A member of Sudan's opposition Islamist Popular Congress has been tortured to death in detention by security forces, a party official said yesterday.
The security services said last week they had arrested 33 members of Hassan al-Turabi's Popular Congress for plotting sabotage with help from Sudan's eastern neighbor Eritrea.
