Opposition Leader to Face Trial

Pro-democracy opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi will be tried May 18 by the Burmese military junta for breaching the terms of her house arrest in an incident in which an American man swam across a lake adjacent to her home to meet with her. Video: AFP

Human rights groups say the charges are an attempt by the regime to sideline her ahead of upcoming parliamentary elections.
