| UNITED NATIONS — Liberia's president, under heavy pressure to step down, rejected a Nigerian offer of safe haven in part because he fears it won't protect him from a war crimes indictment, senior U.N. diplomats told The Associated Press.
The Bush administration, which has been asked to supply 2,000 peacekeepers to Liberia, might not accept that. U.S. diplomats at the United Nations have laid out three conditions for further discussion on Liberia: Taylor stepping down and turning himself over to the special court in Sierra Leone and a cease-fire the international community can support.
