- From wire reports

A Christian woman acquitted of blasphemy after spending eight years on death row in Pakistan has been transferre­d from a secret location near the capital to another in Karachi, but is still unable to leave the country to join her daughters in Canada, a friend said. Aman Ullah, who spoke to Aasia Bibi by phone Friday, said the 54-year-old Bibi is being held in the southern port city. He said Bibi, who faces death threats by radical Islamists, is frustrated and frightened, uncertain of when she will be able to leave Pakistan.
