'Afghan Girl' denied bail over fake ID

A Pakistani court refused bail Wednesday to an Afghan woman immortalized on a National Geographic cover after she was arrested in Pakistan and accused of being one of thousands of refugees using fake ID cards.

Pakistan last week arrested Sharbat Gula, whose haunting green eyes - captured in an image taken in a Pakistan refugee camp by photographer Steve McCurry in the 1980s - became the most famous cover in the magazine's history.

She was accused of living in the country on fraudulent identity papers following a two-year investigation into her and her husband, who has absconded.
