Haider to Lead Freedom Party Again

Austria's Freedom Party nominated far-rightist Joerg Haider on Wednesday to be its leader once again following a party feud that led to the resignation of key leaders and the collapse of the governing coalition. Haider's nomination comes less than 2 1/2 years after he resigned from the post as part of a deal that brought the party into a coalition with the centrist People's Party. His confirmation as party chief at a special convention Sept. 20 is considered certain.
