And now for the news (and how to edit it)

It's good to know when changes have been made to a news item - but it may not be exactly what the publishers had in mind. I had found an item on Yahoo News which read:

Man accused of online overseas extortion
AP - Charges have been filed against a man accused of persuading a teen to send him a nude photograph by threatening to ruin her parents' credit rating and saying he would come from the Middle East to have sex with her.

The encounter turned into a sting operation because the alleged perpetrator did visit the States (from Dubai) and tried to set up a meeting with the girl - who by that time had been to the police who began posing as her online. A number of charges have now been laid.

At the very end of the article is this statement:

(Rewrites throughout to correct suspect's first name to `Babir' sted `Babar,' based on updated information from sheriff's department; ADD that Chaudhry was visiting a brother, other details.)
