Prosecutors today concluded the cross-examination of Charles Taylor's 20th defense witness, a Liberian national who served as a radio operator in the Special Security Services (SSS) of Mr. Taylor's government in Liberia.

By David Lewis
MONROVIA (Reuters) - The United Nations must resist pressure to cut back its mission in Liberia too soon, or risk instability before elections next year, its top official in the country told Reuters.

But limitations of local funding and institutions must be taken into account and ethnic clashes were a threat to stability with potential consequences for all of West Africa, Loj said.
