Another minister quits in the political "upheavals" over the Danish Mohammed cartoons. This time, in Italy.
The Italian reform minister who angered Muslims by wearing a T-shirt decorated with Western media cartoons satirising the Prophet Muhammad has resigned.
Roberto Calderoli stepped down a day after rioting outside the Italian consulate in the Libyan city of Benghazi led to at least 10 deaths.
Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi had also urged him to go.
Additionally:
Libyan Interior Minister Nasr al-Mabrouk was suspended on Saturday and referred for investigation into police actions during the rioting.
