Charles Taylor picks vice president as successor, Congress approves decisi
MONROVIA, Liberia, Aug. 7-West African peacekeeping forces drove into Liberia's rebel-besieged, famished capital on Thursday to deafening cheers from the city's people

The triumphant arrival came as President Charles Taylor announced his successor — a step toward his much-anticipated resignation and toward ending two months of bloody warfare in Monrovia that has killed at least 1,000 people.

In a letter to Congress, Taylor said he would hand power to his vice president, Moses Blah. Lawmakers approved the decision, paving the way for Taylor's stepping down Monday, as promised.
