Politkovsakya murder: Chechen charged

The former head of a district in Chechnya has been charged over the murder of journalist Anna Politkovskaya. According to his lawyer, Shamil Burayev, who was detained by police earlier this month, was charged with "complicity in murder as an accomplice". Burayev ran Chechnya's Achkoi-Martan district administration for eight years until 2003, when he was fired by then-Chechen president, Akhmad Kadyrov. (Via Moscow Times/AP)
