This article was written by CBS News reporter Farhan Bokhari in Islamabad.Pakistan s military chief General Ashfaq Kayani on Sunday appeared to be distancing the country s influential army from direct involvement in next month s parliamentary elections, in an apparent bid to keep the army out of the controversy likely to precede and possibly follow the elections.Those elections which were earlier set to take place on January 8 but were delayed until February 18 due to frictions following the December 27 assassination of former prime minister Benazir Bhutto are widely seen to be the stanley mug last chance for President Pervez Musharraf to oversee a peaceful political transition while also lifting his sagging credentials.

Memo to fashion designers: The French aren t quite as thin as you might think.French men and women are getting taller and heavier, and the average woman in France has gone up a dress size since 1970, according to a major fashion industry study released Thursday that measured about 12,000 people nationwide using 3-D imaging.The study, commissioned by a French fashion industry association, aims to help clothing designers understand the sizes and shapes of their clients.The industry s last major measurement campaign was in 1970, and France s current sizes are out of date, said Jean-Pierre Mocho, head of Pret a Porter Paris, the fashion expo where the study s results were released.

An Indian court on Monday sentenced three Hindu men, including a police officer, to life imprisonment for kidnapping, raping and murdering an 8-year-old Muslim girl in Indian-controlled Kashmir, in a case that has exacerbated tensions in the disputed region. Judge Tejwinder Singh sentenced three other policemen to five years in prison for destroying adidas campus damen evidence, prosecutor Santokh Singh told reporters.The judge acquitted another defendant due to insuffic asics ient adidas originals hamburg evidence. An eighth suspect, a minor, will be tried separately by a juvenile court, Santokh Singh said.The girl, who was a member of a nomadic tribe, was grazing her family s ponies in the forests of the Himalayan foothills when she was kidnapped in January 2018. Her mutilated body was found in the woods a week later.Sexual violence, including against children, is rife in India and outrage over the so-called Kathua case contributed to the government introducing the death penalty for child rapists, the AFP news agency reports. Investigators suggested that the girl was targeted in order to strike fear in her tribe and drive them out of the area.The case sparked protests across Kashmir, a Muslim-majority region where rebels have been fighting for years for independence or unification with Pakistan and there is great distrust of the government. Singh said prosecutors plan to appeal to a higher court and seek the death penalty for the three defendants who received life sentences.
