World Watch: This and that

* South Africa: According to an Australian newspaper, the results of a gender test on Caster Semenya concluded that she is a hermaphrodite.

* Iraq: At least 25 people were killed when a truck bomb exploded near Mosul in northern Iraq.

* Italy: Prime Minister/rabo verde Silvio Berlusconi admitted that younger women were brought to his house for “parties” but claimed that he did not pay for sex.

* Myanmar: Oil firm Chevron (sound familiar?) has been accused of using gas profits to support Myanmar’s military regime.
