WASHINGTON (AFP) - US Senator Larry Craig announced his resignation Saturday after his arrest for allegedly soliciting sex with a man in an airport bathroom threatened to engulf the Republican party in yet another embarrassing scandal.


"It is with sadness and deep regret that I announce that it is my intent to resign from the Senate effective September 30," Craig said at a news conference in Boise, Idaho, the state he represents.

The resignation brought a quick end to the newest of a skein of sex and corruption scandals which have eroded the conservative Republicans' moral stance and threaten to damage its performance in next year's national elections.

But it will not likely improve the Democrats' narrow edge over the Republicans in the Senate.
