The star dancer accused of masterminding the attack on the Bolshoi ballet chief acknowledged Thursday that he gave the go-ahead for the attack, but told a Moscow court that he did not order anyone to throw acid on the artistic director's face. The judge, however, refused to release Bolshoi soloist Pavel Dmitrichenko on bail and ordered him held until at least Apr. 18 while the investigation continued. (AP Photo/Ivan Sekretarev)
