Pervez Musharraf, Former Pakistani President And Army Chief, Charged With Benezir Bhutto Assassination
RAWALPINDI, Pakistan — A Pakistani court Tuesday indicted former
president and army chief Pervez Musharraf on murder charges in
connection with the 2007 assassination of iconic Pakistani Prime
Minister Benazir Bhutto, deepening the fall of a once-powerful figure
who returned to the country this year in an effort to take part in
elections.
The decision by a court in Rawalpindi marks the first time Musharraf, or any former army chief in Pakistan, has been charged with a crime.
Musharraf, who took power in a 1999 coup and stepped down from office in disgrace nearly a decade later, now faces a litany of legal problems that have in many ways broken taboos on the inviolability of the once-sacrosanct military in Pakistani society. Read More...

Bolt photo worth 'millions' to marketers
AN eye-catching photograph of Usain Bolt moments after the 100-metre finals at the World Championships in Moscow could be worth millions of dollars to advertisers, according to local experts.

The shot, which has been described by some as "career defining" for both Bolt and the AFP photographer behind the image, features the Jamaican sprinter slowing down to a jog in the Moscow rain amid a 'bolt' of lightning. The legendary runner's surname and speed have made the lightning befitting of him. "The photo is priceless, especially if the individual endorses a product that you make," said Andrew Price, former marketing manager at local rum manufacturer J Wray and Nephew.
"A picture like that speaks volumes and if a Digicel or a Nissan, two products that Bolt endorses in Jamaica, were to use that photo, I'm sure they would get a lot of attention from the general public," Price said. Read more:
