Documents seized from Osama bin Laden'shideouta year ago appear to show that the head of al-Qaeda had become frustrated with regional jihadist groups. The documents also show that bin Laden wanted to target President Obama's plane. Here's our security correspondent Gordon Corera.

It is impossible to know how representative these documents are. But as well as showing the desire to kill the president, they provide a series of uniquesnapshotsof the concerns of top al-Qaeda officials from 2006 to 2011. If there is one unifying theme, it is frustration - frustration for Osama bin Laden at the actions of groups which had affiliated themselves to al-Qaeda but whose actions could not be controlled, for instance, the way in which al-Qaeda in Iraq killed Muslims undermining support.

The Chinesedissidentat the centre of a diplomatic standoff between Beijing and Washington has made an unexpected live appeal to the US Congress. Speaking over a telephone line from Beijing, Chen Guangcheng said he wanted to come to the United States to rest. From Washington, Jonny Dymond.

Over a mobile phone from his hospital in Beijing into a congressional hearing in Washington, Chen Guangcheng made his plea for freedom to travel, for a period of rest in the US - rest, he said, he had not had for 10 years. He said he wanted to meet the US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and to thank her. He said he was worried about the safety of his family and spoke of the security measures that had been put in place tokeep an eye onthem and control them. His greatest concern, he said, was for the safety of his mother and brothers.

Sudan says it's fully committed to ending hostilities with its neighbour South Sudan as demanded by the United Nations, but it warned it would defend itself againstaggression. On Wednesday, the UN Security Council gave the countries until Friday to stop the escalating violence between them or face sanctions. From Khartoum, James Copnall.

Both Sudan and South Sudan have now committed to the African Union'sroad map. The document includes a provision for cessation of hostilities, and talks between the two countries should get underway in the next few days. However, both sides have accused the other of new attacks, and both say they will defend themselves from any aggression. The UN Security Council's threat of sanctions coupled with the AU's road map seems to have brought the two countries back to the negotiating table, but the tension between them is still very high.

Polls have just closed in England, Scotland and Wales, where people have been voting in local elections. There have also been contests for the post of mayor in three cities, including London. The BBC's political correspondent says the results across the country will be seen as a popularity test for Britain's coalition government at a time when it was doing badly in opinion polls.

The head of the Roman Catholic Church in Ireland is coming under increasing pressure to resign over his handling of a child sex abuse inquiry. Cardinal Sean Brady says he won't resign over allegations that when he was a young clergyman he knew about a number of children who'd been abused by apaedophilepriest but did not tell their parents. The Irish Deputy Prime Minister Eamon Gilmore told parliament that anyone who didn't act against cases of abuse at the time should step down.

"I've always believed in the separation of Church and state. I think it is the job of government and of the state to enact our laws and to ensure that those laws apply to everybody whether they belong to a church or not. But it is my own personal view that anybody who did not deal with the scale of the abuse that we have seen in this case should not hold a position of authority."

一年前从本拉登藏身地抓获的文件似乎显示，基地组织的这位领导人一度对地区基地组织感到失望。文件还显示，本拉登希望将总统奥巴马的飞机作为袭击目标。BBC安全记者Gordon Corera报道。

It is impossible to know how representative these documents are.

无法得知这些文件的代表性，但除了表达想杀害总统的愿望之外，还透露了2006到2011年间基地组织最高官员一系列独特的忧虑，如果有一个统一的主题，那就是失望，本拉登对那些曾隶属于基地组织但其行动又在控制之外的组织的行动感到失望，比如，伊拉克基地组织杀害穆斯林的方式就削弱了对它的支持。
