Indian activist Hazare to end hunger strike

AFP – Indian anti-graft activist Anna Hazare was set to end his “indefinite” hunger strike Friday after six days, having failed to garner the mass support that spurred his anti-corruption drive a year ago. Hazare, 75, announced his intention to end his fast when he addressed supporters Thursday at the protest.
