'Honor' rape: Five Pakistanis held

Pakistani police have arrested five men on charges of kidnapping and gang-raping a woman in the latest of a string of so-called honor crimes. The married woman was attacked because one of her male cousins had an affair with a women whose father disapproved of the relationship, police said on Wednesday. "The accused say they carried out this horrible act as an act of honor," said police official Mohammad Mumtaz.

The incident took place in the central Punjab province where the high-profile gang-rape of a woman, Mukhtaran Mai, on the orders of a village council triggered an international outcry.
