| CBI launches initial probe into IDBI loan to Kingfisher | |  NEW DELHI/MUMBAI (Reuters) - The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is investigating a loan made by state-run IDBI Bank Ltd to debt-laden Kingfisher Airlines worth 9.5 billion rupees ($155.38 million), a police spokeswoman said on Saturday. The crime fighting agency is looking into why the loan was approved when the airline has a negative net worth and a negative credit rating, Kanchan Prasad said. "The CBI has registered a preliminary inquiry to inquire into the role of IDBI and Kingfisher Airlines," she said. "There was no need for the bank to take the exposure outside the consortium when already other banks' loans were getting stressed." A preliminary inquiry is usually the first step before a formal case is filed.

| Yemen militants shoot 14 soldiers, drone kills three al Qaeda suspects | | | By Mohammed Mukhashaf ADEN (Reuters) - An al Qaeda-affiliated group in Yemen said it killed 14 soldiers in an eastern province as revenge for an army offensive against its members, while a U.S. drone attack killed three suspected militants in central Yemen on Saturday, an official said. The Yemeni army has sent extra troops to the Wadi Hadramout region in northeastern Yemen to counter attempts by militant group Ansar al Sharia to declare an Islamic emirate in the city of Seiyoun. In the past week, Yemeni security forces have killed at least 25 suspected militants in clashes in Wadi Hadramout, including seven who were killed on Thursday when they tried to attack an army facility. "...The captive soldiers participated in the latest campaign against Sunni Muslims in Wadi Hadramout, and thus the mujahideen decided to kill them as a punishment for their crimes," the statement said. |
