led by.....

Hello,

I was reading this article from Economist.com, and was curious about this sentence,

"Nervous investors awaited news of a possible Greek bail-out, led by Germany"

Why use "led", not "leading", is it because Germany has began the bailout? Please enlighten me.

and one more question, in my first sentence up there, ", and was curious about this sentence," Is it correct? or I should leave out the "was" and just have ", and curious about this sentence,"?

Thank you very much for your help

I have not read the article. Thank you and have a nice day.

Why the period?

I am basically computer illiterate. Thank you, sir, for teaching me that one does not use a period after "com" as I did in my answer to that gentleman. I apologize, and I shall try to do better in the future.
