The Associated Press SIOUX FALLS, S.D. - Former Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf (pur-VEHZ' moo-SHAH'-ruhv) says al-Qaida needs to be eliminated from the country by force, but dealing with the Taliban requires a military, political and socio-economic approach. Musharraf spoke Friday night at Augustana College in Sioux Falls. He says the Taliban is not a monolith, but rather a spread out organization with no single commander who could be removed for the command structure to be destroyed. Musharraf is a stalwart supporter of the U.S. in the war on terror. He ended his decade-long rule and resigned as president in August 2008 amid threats of impeachment.

The Associated Press AUSTIN, Texas - A handyman accused of killing six people in a cross-country spree was convicted Friday in two of the deaths, and could face the death penalty. Paul Devoe, 46, was accused of killing five people in Texas and one in Pennsylvania in August 2007. The jury deliberated for less than 30 minutes before finding him guilty of capital murder in the deaths of two teenage girls.

GREG RISLING The Associated Press LOS ANGELES - Film director Roman Polanski agreed to pay his sexual assault victim $500,000 to settle a lawsuit 15 years after he fled the United States, according to court documents provided to media outlets Friday. The deal between Polanski and the victim, Samantha Geimer, was reached in October 1993. The terms of the settlement were confidential, but the amount was disclosed in court documents because of a two-year struggle to get Polanski to pay. Court records do not indicate if Polanski, now 76, ever paid. The last court filing in August 1996 shows Polanski owed Geimer $604,416.22, including interest. Polanski's attorney, David Finkle, said he couldn't...
