Olmert under pressure to quit over link to millionaire in bribery probe

Israel's prime minister, Ehud Olmert, is coming under pressure to resign after an American millionaire was reported to be embroiled in a high-level bribery investigation involving Olmert.

Speculation about the Israeli leader's future is rife after a report - on the eve of the country's 60th birthday celebrations today - that a Long Island financier, Morris Talansky, is set to testify to Israel's state prosecutor's office.
