Update on Pakistani girl with Down's syndrome...
The girl accused of "blasphemy." 
The bail hearing of a young Christian girl accused of blasphemy has been postponed until Sept.1 to verify a medical report confirming her age and reported mental handicap.
The girl was jailed more than two weeks ago after a local cleric accused her of burning religious texts. Under Pakistan's controversial blasphemy law, the desecration of Islamic scriptures can earn a life sentence in prison. Local media have reported the girl has Down's syndrome, which was expected to give authorities a reason to exonerate her.
However, the latest twist is that the new prosecutor, a self-professed fan of the late Salman Taseer’s assassin, is questioning the girl’s age and claiming that she is part of an international conspiracy to ridicule Islam and incite Muslims. Response to his view highlights the power of extremists in Pakistan, say activists.
