DUBAI: A Dubai court will start on Tuesday the trial of six investors and brokers charged with conducting bogus trades on the shares of Dubai Islamic Bank in August, the state news agency WAM reported. The case, which led to the cancellation of trades worth $2.6 billion in the stock on the Dubai bourse, had shaken the U.A.E.'s financial community and renewed calls for enforcing even tougher regulations to stamp out market abuses. Share prices in the U.A.E. often fluctuate before key announcements from companies. Brokers said the trial was the first of its kind in the U.A.E., which is tightening its monitoring of its bullish stock markets.

WAM quoted Dubai's prosecutor, Assem Issa al-Hamdan, as saying the defendants were two Emirati nationals and four Arabs.

He did not identify them but the U.A.E.'s financial watchdog last month suspended U.A.E. nationals Zayed bin Owaidah al-Qubaisi and Khaled Ahmad Mugrin al-Kindi, as well as a Palestinian financial adviser and Al-Sharhan Brokerage for involvement in the scandal.

"The fact that issues such as this one are finally being addressed is a positive sign," said Walid Shihabi, researcher at Shuaa Capital. "I think if, in fact, there was a material breach of the regulations for personal gain it will be very useful that people realize there is implementation of the rules in place."

A probe by the Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA) showed the investors had manipulated the market by trading large quantities of DIB shares on the Dubai bourse to rapidly increase and decrease the price to make a profit.

Market manipulation is an offense according to the SCA's rules and regulations.

Enforcement of trading regulations has been spotty in the past, although the SCA won praise from investors for acting quickly in the Dubai Islamic Bank case. Insider trading on the Dubai bourse, however, remains widespread according to traders. SCA's powers are still limited and the watchdog does not function independently of the and Planning Economy Ministry.

Mitt RomneyFormer Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney thumped his nearest Republican opponent, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, in this week's Florida primary, carrying all of the state's 50 delegates.

And he did so with the help of a super PAC, a new breed of political-action committee that can raise and spend unlimited amounts of cash from from corporations, unions, individuals and associations.

Federal Election Commission records show that the Restore Our Future independent expenditure-only committee, or super PAC, had more than $23.6 million in cash on hand at the end of 2011. The super PAC, which is supporting Romney's bid for president, actually had more money in the bank than the candidate himself, who reported having $20 million at the end of the year.

And that super PAC spent millions buying attack ads criticizing Gingrich.

So how do super PACs work? What laws govern them? How did they come into being? And how closely are they allowed to work with the actual candidates? Here are a few questions and answers about super PACs.

Another advantage of providing Pakistan with PALS is avoiding a situation that might force the United States to take military action within or against Pakistan.

This situation would be extremely detrimental to U.S. interests and should be avoided if at all possible.First, a military incursion into …
