[prpoint] How did this happen? Is breaking stories all about fact or fiction??

Really, really interesting...   A breaking story in major newspapers... turns out to be a really well pulled off prank (the article from NIE attached though others like the Deccan Herald and ToI also ran the story. Please also read the response to the same on the Reuters blog (both links below)  Antique piano ad leads police to Nazi Colonel  http://www.newindpress.com/NewsItems.asp?ID=IEK20080629000956&Page=K&Title=Southern+News+-+Karnataka&Topic=0   http://blogs.reuters.com/india/2008/06/30/indian-newspapers-fall-for-baroque-nazi-war-criminal-hoax/   Regards,   Derek
