NICOSIA,
Cyprus (AP) — Cypriot authorities were putting the final touches to a plan they
hope will convince international lenders to provide the money the country needs
to avoid bankruptcy within days.
As well as
trying to forge an overall financing package, lawmakers were meeting to decide
the fate of the country's second largest lender Laiki which was hardest hit
from its exposure to bad Greek debt.
