Rice Will Go to London, Not Middle East

WASHINGTON (AP) - Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is deferring an expected trip to Egypt and other Mideast countries next week, confining her travels to a conference in London on assisting the Palestinian Authority.

The Middle East stops were never announced officially, but State Department spokesman Richard Boucher said Friday in providing the revised schedule that there had been ``some consideration to going out to the region at this time,'' especially since Egypt was to host a meeting between the G-8 economic group and the Arab League.

Egypt last Sunday postponed the conference on promoting democracy in the midst of a dispute with the Bush administration over the jailing of a political activist.

Rice had registered her ``very strong concerns'' about the detention of Ayman Nour, the leader of an opposition party, when she met with Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit on Tuesday in Washington.

Then again - maybe it's best she not go, no real point in further antagonizing anyone in the region....
