Israeli police question Olmert on corruption charges

Jerusalem: Police investigators have arrived at Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's residence to question him again on corruption charges.

Friday's session is the latest round of police questioning on suspicions Olmert improperly accepted funds from a US businessman. Another case involves alleged violations in funding trips abroad.

The policemen pulled up in a white jeep and were expected to spend two hours with Olmert.

Beset by the burgeoning allegations and with dismal approval ratings, Olmert announced Wednesday that he will resign once his party picks a new leader in September.

The announcement set the stage for a leadership battle in Olmert's Kadima Party, and possibly for national elections.
