PRETORIA, South Africa -- Children chatter about the Oscar Pistorius murder trial at South African schools, startling parents with details about how the athlete fatally shot his girlfriend. Big audiences in South Africa are watching a 24-hour television channel dedicated to coverage of the sensational trial. Turns of phrase from the courtroom -- the defence lawyer's "I put it to you" challenge to prosecution witnesses -- are creeping into popular culture.

The rise and fall of the double-amputee runner, who competed in the London Olympics in 2012 and then killed model Reeva Steenkamp less than a year after that inspirational triumph, is a consuming saga for South Africans that has drawn sheepish comparisons to reality television shows. The more people hear, the hungrier they are for more.

Was Oscar on his stumps or wearing prosthetic limbs when he battered the toilet door with a cricket bat? Does he scream like a woman, as the defence suggests, or did neighbours indeed hear a woman's screams on the night of the killing? Will apparent missteps by police investigators muddy the prosecution's case? Did Pistorius vomit during graphic testimony about Steenkamp's wounds because of anguish, or was he trying to curry sympathy with the impassive judge?

Malaysia Calls in the FBI   The Federal Bureau of Investigation will examine the hard drive of a flight simulator taken from the home of the Malaysia Airlines Flight 370's captain after it was discovered that some of the data had been erased. Malaysia's transportation minister said it's not clear what was erased or who erased it, but simulation programs usually contain data from pervious sessions for later playback. According to a simulator manufacturer interviewed by CNN, the deleting of data "would be suspicious to me, because there's no need to do it." However, it is important to note that the removal of the files does not demonstrate ill intent.

Pakistan Knew Where Osama Lived   Documents collected from Osama bin Laden's house in Pakistan and the word of an anonymous Pakistani official both contradict the official story from Pakistan and the U.S. that Islamabad was unaware that Osama bin Laden was living in Abbottabad. The New York Times Magazine reported Wednesday that the chief of Pakistan's intelligence service, Lt. Gen. Ahmed Shuja Pasha, "knew of Osama's whereabouts," according to its source, and the U.S. has "direct evidence" that Pasha knew where bin Laden was. The explosive claim contradicts a White House statement from 2011 that "there's no smoking gun" showing Pakistan knew. In addition, documents from bin Laden's compound contained correspondence between the terrorist and other militant leaders indicating they were protected by Pakistan's intelligence service. For example, bin Laden traveled in convoys—in plain sight—to visit other terrorist honchos, and according to the report they were "always knowingly waved through any security checkpoints."
