ZURICH, Sha'ban 13, 1436, May 31, 2015, SPA FIFA -- President Sepp Blatter came out fighting on Saturday as he began his fifth term in charge of soccer's governing body, implying that the United States timed the announcement of a major corruption probe to try to scupper his re-election bid, Reuters reported. The 79-year-old Swiss comfortably won Friday's vote at a FIFA congress in Zurich, having secured the support of blocks of votes from Asia and Africa, which outweighed dissenters including Europe's powerful soccer body UEFA. -- SPA 02:10 LOCAL TIME 23:10 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
