| U.S. Park Police and Secret Service officers reopened an area in front of the White House on Friday evening after briefly closing it due to an unattended package that had been left in front of the presidential building, according to a Reuters eyewitness. At around 8 p.m., officers moved pedestrians away from Pennsylvania Avenue, the street in front of the White House, and Lafayette Park, which faces the building. A package that looked like a small black backpack had been left near the railings that separate the White House grounds from the street, the witness reported. |

 A prominent opponent of Russian President Vladimir Putin who was detained in Sofia following an extradition request from Moscow was released on Friday by a Bulgarian court on condition he does not leave the country. Nicolay Koblyakov had been held for 72 hours after being detained at Sofia airport. He is wanted by Russia on suspicion of fraud between 2004 and 2005. The Sofia City Court, however, said Koblyakov's actions can not be classified as fraud, or any crime, under Bulgarian law, adding that this could be a reason for a future denial of Russia's request for extradition.
