JERUSALEM, April 3 (Reuters) - Israeli police on Friday questioned the new foreign minister, Avigdor Lieberman, for the second straight day on suspicion of bribery and money laundering, a police spokesman said.

Lieberman, an ultranationalist who became Israel's top diplomat on Tuesday, has denied any wrongdoing and has called the police probe into his affairs a smear campaign.

His anti-Arab rhetoric has alarmed Palestinians as well as Arab leaders in the region. (For blogs and links on Israeli politics and other Israeli and Palestinian news, go to http://blogs.reuters.com/axismundi)
