He was 90.

Harvey died at a hospital in Phoenix, Arizona, where he kept a winter home, said Louis Adams, a spokesman for the networks. He was surrounded by family members when he died, Adams said.

Known for his deliberate delivery and pregnant pauses, Harvey's broadcasts were heard on over 1,200 radio stations and 400 Armed Forces networks and his commentaries appeared in 300 newspapers, according to his Web site.

WASHINGTON (CNN) - President Barack Obama on Saturday asked Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius to be his nominee for Health and Human Services secretary, according to two White House officials.

The officials told CNN that Obama is expected to make the announcement Monday afternoon. The officials asked not to be named because the announcement has not yet been made.

WASHINGTON (CNN) - The Conservative Political Action Conference wrapped up Saturday with radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh delivering the keynote address and activists picking former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney as their favorite presidential candidate for the third year in a row.

Romney took 20 percent of the votes in the three-day straw poll of 1,757 attendees at the conference. Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, who delivered the Republican response to President Barack Obama's speech to Congress Tuesday night, was second with 14 percent.

U.S. Rep. Ron Paul and Alaska governor Sarah Palin both took 13 percent and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich was the only other official cracking double digits with 10 percent.

Participants were given a list of names - along with "undecided," which 9 percent chose - and asked which deserves to be the 2012 Republican nominee for president.

(CNN) - A U.S Marine serving in Iraq's Anbar province was killed Saturday in a non-combat-related incident, the military reported.

The incident is under investigation and the Marine's name is being withheld until family members are notified, said a written release from the Department of Defense.

Not including Saturday's fatality, 4,251 U.S. troops have died in the Iraq war since March 20, 2003.

(CNN) - Somali President Sharif Sheikh Hassan said Saturday he will give in to a rebel demand that he impose Islamic law, or Sharia, in the African country - an effort to halt fighting between Somali forces and Islamic insurgents.

However, Hassan told a news conference he won't agree to a strict interpretation of the law, which forbids girls from attending school, requires veils for women and beards for men, and bans music and television.

The president, speaking at his palace in the capital, Mogadishu, said local elders and religious leaders, acting as liaisons with the militants, brought him a message saying the rebels wanted a truce in the two-year-old fighting. He, in turn, also asked African peacekeepers to stand down.

Hassan, who was elected January 31, said he would ask the AU contingent to leave once there is a solid political solution to the conflict.

BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) - At least two people died and nine others were wounded when a car bomb in a parked car detonated in western Baghdad, an Interior Ministry official said.

The incident occurred in a commercial area of the Mansour district. One of those killed was a police officer in civilian clothing. It is not clear whether he was being targeted. The other slain person was a civilian.

(CNN) - Aviation officials were trying to determine Saturday why a small plane crashed in dense woods in southeastern Louisiana, killing two adults and a teenager, a spokesman for the Livingston Parish Sheriff's Office said.

Chief Criminal Deputy Jason Ard said the trio, apparently parents and their son, had been identified, but the names weren't being released because there were more relatives to notify. They were the only three people aboard.

The Cessna aircraft, which took off from Slidell, Louisiana, crashed just before midnight (1 a.m. ET Saturday) near Albany, less than 40 miles to the west. The plane was headed for Marksville, northwest of Baton Rouge.

A resident in the Albany area phoned the sheriff's office shortly before midnight to report hearing a crash, and that was followed by other calls, Ard said.
Controllers at Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport told deputies that they were communicating with the pilot before losing contact. It was difficult to reach the crash site because of the woods, Ard said.
