Afghanistan says court to decide fate of convert (Reuters)
Reuters - Under mounting international pressure over the case of a man facing the death penalty for converting to Christianity, Afghanistan said on Wednesday its judiciary alone would decide the case.

Bush concerned about jailed Afghan Christian
President Bush on Wednesday defended an Afghan Christian who is on trial for rejecting Islam and who could eventually face the death penalty. "It is deeply troubling that a country we helped liberate would hold a person to account because they chose a particular religion over another," Bush said.
