WASHINGTON, Safar 19, 1436, Dec 11, 2014, SPA -- With the threat looming of a midnight government shutdown, the fate of a $1.1 trillion U.S. spending bill was thrust into doubt on Thursday by Democratic objections over a provision to roll back part of the Dodd-Frank financial reform law, Reuters reported. A vote on final passage of the bill was set for Thursday afternoon, and House Speaker John Boehner predicted passage. But the measure barely cleared a procedural hurdle as both liberal Democrats and conservative Republicans urged their colleagues to oppose it. -- SPA 23:01 LOCAL TIME 20:01 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/1305088
