Crone said a medical center in Dubai will be able to serve as a hub for a region covering Eastern Europe to Bangladesh and Central Asia to North Africa...

The Liberian talks had started a week previously but stalled as rebel troops attacked Monrovia, and a U.N.-backed court in Sierra Leone indicted President Charles Taylor for war crimes.
