Property market: Winning ways to negotiate your cut-price property ...
Three months of falling prices have persuaded many that they must take a slice off their asking price if they really want to sell their home. In its last bulletin on the housing market, published on December 17, the property website Rightmove announced that asking prices had fallen by an average of 3.2 per cent over the month. Of this, it said, 1.1 per cent was attributable to a rush of one- and two-bedroom properties coming on to the market before the requirement to commission a Home Information Pack was extended to all property. .
Voters flock to polls on historic Super Tuesday
Democrats Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton ran neck-and-neck on Super Tuesday as John McCain vied to seal the Republican race in the biggest coast-to-coast White House nominating clash in history. Turnout was set to be high as New Yorkers kicked off the 24-state primary bonanza which rippled across the country, with the last polls set to close in California at 0400 GMT, and Alaska around 0500 GMT Wednesday. In the first state to report, ordained Baptist preacher Mike Huckabee got an early boost by winning the Republican caucuses in West Virginia with 51 percent of the vote over 47 percent for former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney. But the day was yet young, and everything was left to play for. Senator Clinton, 60, voice husky from fatigue, has vowed to fight on as opinion surveys picked up a surge by Obama, the 46-year-old Illinois senator vying for the White House job.

Senior Taliban Figure Caught in Pakistan
Dadullah is the latest in a series of high-ranking Taliban militants to have been killed or captured either side of the border in the past year or so. Pakistan, a key U.S. ally in the war on terrorism, concedes Taliban militants are active on its soil but has denied Omar and other militia leaders use Pakistan as a base of operations. The violence in the country has often targeted politicians. In Monday's suicide atttack, Khan, the candidate for parliament supported by the Awami National Party, was campaigning in North Waziristan when he was wounded and his supporters were killed, authorities said. .
