A US Department of Defence F-15C Eagle Multirole Fighter soars across the sky during a flight display, Monday Feb. 20, 2006 in Singapore. When U.S. aerospace giant Boeing Co. won a bid last year to supply at least a dozen fighter jets to Singapore, its defeated French rival said America's superpower status had influenced the outcome. The city-state which hosts one of the world's biggest defense and aerospace conventions starting Monday, said its procurement process was rigorous and objective. But as a mega-deal for combat aircraft looms in India, the case recalled the murky mix of political, financial and military factors that often shapes major arms deals long after the Cold War.

British historian David Irving appears in court in Vienna with handcuffs 20 February 2006. In his 1977 book "Hitler's War," he claimed the Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler did not know about the mass killings of Jews until 1943 and that he never ordered the Holocaust. Irving, 67, faces a 10-year prison sentence under an Austrian law that prosecutes those who "deny the genocide by the National Socialists or other National Socialist crimes against humanity." The right-wing historian was arrested in November 2005 after a routine check on a highway in Austria. Irving said he would plead guilty to the charges.
