This week's summary of under-reported news
Compiled by Bob Nixon

• French President Nicholas Sarkozy has come under fire for approving
 a $400 million arms deal with Libya, a week after Libya released
 Bulgarian health workers convicted of infecting children with the AIDS
 virus. 
• The Cambodian war crimes tribunal has brought charges against Kang
 Kek Leu, also known as Duch, the former head of the infamous Tuol Sleg
 prison in Phnom Penh were over 14,000 men, women and children were
 tortured during the 1970s "killing fields" period. 
• FBI and IRS agents recently raided the home of Sen. Ted Stevens
 (R-Alaska) in a wide-ranging corruption probe focusing on his ties to
 VECO, an oil services company.
