'Oldest man' passes away in India

An Indian man reported to be the oldest in the world has died in the western city of Jaipur.
Habib Miyan's pension papers showed his date of birth as 20 May 1879, but he claimed he was 138.
He shot into limelight five years ago when he managed to complete his only unfulfilled dream, to visit the Muslim holy place of Mecca in Saudi Arabia.
A UK-based businessman paid $5,700 for the trip after reading his story on BBC News Online.
